Default 17"

I have Jaguar front suspension and have made my own knock off hubs which have the hub face about 20mm further inwards, brakes are AP 6 Pot CP5570 front and AP 4 Pot CP5100, both these calipers run the internal dust seals, running floating 330mm x 28mm rotors front and 295mm x 25.4mm rotors rear. I was going to put CP5200 on the rear but that was going to be overkill, this car will be lucky to be over 1000kgs when finished with its lightweight alloy/magnesium running gear etc.

Wheels are compomotive 17" x 12" rear and 17"x 10" front, I personally prefer 17" wheels maximum as larger diameter wheels dont cut it for me, 18" at a pinch, but I see street hoons with their larger 19" to 22" wheels and quite frankly the cars look stupid as if there is no tyre there, plus availability in 17" is okay!
