Default Tires

SCOBRAC, CLAY

What I am considering is having two sets of Trigos and having slicks on one set and cruising tires on the other, this keeps the original look!
Curious about offset quoted as 3.5" by Trigo is this inwards or outwards?

In New Zealand MANZ (Motorsport New Zealand) the classic historic, replicas etc have tightened up on regulations to keep it more down to earth, and they frowned when I asked them if I could run 16" wheels.

I had 17" knockons (Arrow wheels NZ) which had the threaded hub and correct alloy lug nut on a Cobra, they were great, never came loose, but 10 years ago the tire selection was dismal I had to run tires designed for a Ferrari road car at NZ$1250 each, no grip with 600+hp - I was still going sideways half way down the main straight if I was agressive!

Maybe I should just say stuff it and get some PSE 17" Knock ons, I assume that PSE make a Knock on and can supply hubs lug nuts etc?
