The revival of 650143R, 1970 with TS.
Richard48Y:
New cam gear center on the way.
Sent another email to PA Motorsport regarding their improved outer axles.
Realized I have been winging this build, so began a properly documented build plan.
Richard48Y:
With a complete car here to trial fit wheels on it has been an educational day.
My wheel choice has been finalized.
And the winner is, Cosmic!
Turns out the CSS "Basketweave" are .625" too deep in offset and will not clear the trailing arm, so I will probably list them on feeBay.
The wheels that came with the car clear the suspension but really sit just bit too far out for my stock bodywork.
I can see where the DPO trimmed the fender lip, and some past rubbing near the top outer edge in front.
They may end up on the Spitfire or GT6.
Not at all unhappy to use the Cosmic's, period correct, they clear the inside and should also have a bit more clearance to the outside, WIN!
Almost as importantly, I have six of them.
So I will have a matching spare, and an extra wheel if I ever damage one.
Looking like 185/60-13 tires.
