I've gone 235's on the rear and 205's on the front, similar to the Caterham set-up on the CSR.

i think 235's will slow the car down more than anything with the power we will be running!

Im thinking of 205's on the rear and 195's on the front. Be best to try and keep the back end stuck a little more if pos!

Hi.
There is a guy on the Tiger forum selling a set of 15x7 superlights with part worn R888s for £495 if that is any help. You may need to check the PCD.

If your intending to run up to and beyond 280 bhp you'll find 205's will spin up very easily, that's why the Caterham is running 245's, and my mate who has a 350bhp cossie in a seven runs 245's as well. I know two people who were running high powered turbo's jap engines in sevens and both suffered wheels spin in 1st and 2nd.

were running around 140hp! so i think 195's will be fine!

It all depends what you're doing with your right foot , not the power . Feed it don't floor it

I do agree, but you don't see supercars running 195's on the back do you

And with turbocharged cars you have to be careful when it spools up, as the power delivery is not as linear as an NA car.....

But with 140 bhp 205's will be plenty......

Pete&Matt · Post by **Pete&Matt** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 2:47 pm

were going to go for 195's

On my RT i am running 42 offset, it came with ET 35 but the wheels were proud of the arches which maybe a problem for SVA

I'm also very interested to know the default wheelsize/offset used on a live axle classic. This hasn't passed on here yet.

The Classic is a different story ET 15 or 25 i think, Rob or Matt will confirm.
