Wheel and tyre size?

[boxhead]

Does anybody know the wheel and tyre size that may be fitted to this car?

Also are these tyres still being made, and are they street legal in Australia?

looks great with the full wheel wells

The wheels look like a proper knock on, and they look 15", may be larger, hard to tell with the super balloons on..

Could be Trigo www.trigowheels.com or PS Engineering (sorry, I don't have a link handy).

I would be interested in your findings on the tyre...

Good Luck!

Hi David,

They look like the big letter goodyear tyres . I believe these are a race only tyre and don't have a DOT rating. it hasn't stopped a bunch off the guys in the US running them.

They are big wide and sticky and from what I've read have a tendancy to make the steering hunt a bit. They really throw rocks around as well with the sticky rubber and the tread pattern they have. If you want to run them you could probably get a set shipped over from the US. I believe a few specialty rubber supliers carry them.

Mike;
The term you used "hunt" is what I am experiencing now. I replaced the BFG T/A's with Goodyear Eagles (Roger Kraus Racing)
and man does the steering feel a whole lot different. It has a mind of it's own at slow speeds. Don't notice it at hiway speed.
Someone mentioned a while back that the soft compound tire like
these Goodyears are a "love/hate relationship". I agree. They hold the road like no other but the rocks are flying all over inside
the wheel wells.
