Area Representative Andrew Gilbert Posted March 10, 2022 Area Representative Share Posted March 10, 2022 Too wide for the fronts surely but OK for the rears, I run original minilite 7's on the back of mine and they tuck into the arch nicely, my previous 7 ran 7" wide rears from JBW, nice wheels but the offset they had meant the rear tyres aligned with the edge of the rear arch so had a deeper dish.

pkw2704 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 So ,would 6" front 7" rear be a better set up ,road use mainly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I run 6.5" up front in std arches shod with 185/60/13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkw2704 Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 what about the rears ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed White Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 185 bhp k, and 6 inch fronts with 185's, 7 inch rears with 205's but trying 215 zzr's shortly. Seems a nice balance to me, but what do I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul D Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 https://www.gpsevens.co.uk/portfolio-item/now-sold-caterham-hpc-2-0-vauxhall-245bhp-5-speed-1995-sprint-hill-climb-spec-1-owner/ 7" fronts and 8" rears on this one, with some chunky tyres. Front wings changed for CSR ones which might have been for clearance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby S Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I run on 13x6.5 - with 185/60 on front and 205/60 on rears - the rears fill the wheel arch nicely - I'll see if I can download some pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Andrew Gilbert Posted March 12, 2022 Area Representative Share Posted March 12, 2022 Better pics of mine, The red 7 has 7" rears and they are Caterham supplied items, offset I think is 19, the green is the JBW wheels, 7" rear with a 0 ofset and you just about see the difference in how they sit within the arch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkw2704 Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 looks good ,so 7 rears 6 fronts ? so is it 205 rears with 7" and 185 fronts with 6" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Andrew Gilbert Posted March 13, 2022 Area Representative Share Posted March 13, 2022 Thats what I have on mine, I run 888's as I like the deeper sidewall profile these give in those sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
