TR4 wheels

Ian.

 

Thank you for the advice regarding lock stops.

 

All.

 

 

This brings me back to my previous comment that the body offset is more noticeable with wider wheels. Following a comparison of gaps it is apparent that the nearside wheel sits further from the upright, trunnion, top link etc than the offside does - hence the near side wheel appears "further out" in comparison to the wheel arch than the offside wheel does. Wheel / tyres and hub extensions are all new, similar, matching etc.

 

Any views, comments or advice would be gratefully received.

 

Regards,

 

Stuart.

Even though they are new are your front wheels a pair? One may have greater offset than the other.

Hi Dawn,

I have a TR4 which had 5.5 Minilites with195/60 tyres when I bought it and the steering was dreadfully heavy at low speed which, in my humble opinion puts a great deal of extra load on the steering components. I recently changed to 175/70 Vredestein Sprint Classic's which have improved low speed manoeuvering and also improved the ride quality. They also look good and fill the wheelarches quite adequately.

 

Many years ago I had aTR 4 with TR6 steel wheels but can not remember what tyres were on it. I had no fouling issues wharsoever.

 

I am not a fan of wire wheels but love the look of the minilite style wheels which are also in period with the car.

 

Good luck with whichever option you choose.
