Where will it end? then you'll want a 6" exhaust pipe, sub woofies (or whatever they are) the next thing then is blue lights under the car....DON'T DO IT Simon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cinnobar Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Bigger brakes, better choice of performance tyres, better appearance...... etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scellis Posted July 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Bigger brakes, better choice of performance tyres, better appearance...... etc. Exactly!! I`m thinking of putting in a supercharger and will consequensly need better brakes. Oh, and it looks awsome!!! Regards Scellis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roger H Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 If going that route, I suggest you also consider increasing the diameter of the front stub axles when you replace them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amaranthos Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Scellis, I don't know if you're still looking for larger rims for your car, but Paul Beesley has a TR6 with 17" wheels. You can see his car on www.imagewheels.co.uk. It's in the Billet wheel photo gallery. Personally I like it alot, but 18" wheels definitely seem overkill (and a bit weird)! Kristof.

Given the flavour of current threads, perhaps this should be renamed the 'Custom TR6 Forum'! The problem with fitting larger dia wheels is they will look totally naff unless you go wider section & that raises all sorts of problems with fouling, not to mention the huge strain it will put on 50’s designed stub axles & hubs; but I suppose you could always fit a custom, 'Fandango' axle & suspension kit to it; ---- oh dear, I think I’ll go to bed now!
