Not Ranked
I've been convinced to stage my build around my wheels/tires/uprights/diff combination.
My plan is to either find a 289 FIA body in fiberglass, or adapt a 427 body in fiberglass to FIA shape and then build a buck and ultimately an aluminum body.
I'm looking toward somewhat of an original "look", but am not going to be a slave to original parts. I am not finding good source of FIA 6.5 front and 8.5 rear rims, so I am looking at going with some more affordable Trigo wheels in the 7.5 x 3.350 back space on front and 9.5 x 3.325 back space on rear, and will then go with a skinnier tire; namely Goodyear G7s with a 600 x 15 on front and 700 x 15 on rear. Anyone see anything horribly wrong with this plan? Roger Kraus Racing seems to think the skinnier tires would fit the wider rims, and I want the basic "look" to be right.
