I have to return those wheels and tires to my buddy.
But with the wheel wideners installed, the slightly smaller originals look a lot better now.

Just found my old spare car (well some of it) from way back when I was racing in the 90's. I'm interested (possibly) in racing vintage, but I don't see too much information about it in the UK. It seems popular in the states and it...
OK, so I've done over an hour of searching the interwebz and can't find the answer.
