I want to go for the yokohama A032R tyres but was unsure about using the on a 7" wide wheel.

Do you have a picture of one fitted I can take a look at?

Thanks

the car in white and red is using a 7" wide wheels and a 32 R tyre,and has been for quite a while now,

the tyre hasn't fallen of , he hasn't been thrown off the road and died in a fire ball from hell all because he fitted a 165 tyre to a 7" wheel,lol.

Hope not as im collecting them from Iain next week lol.

In all fairness i dont see what the fuss would be,i have an old golf and when you see the tyres the vw lot are stretching,then its time to make a fuss.

very true,

the sretched tyre seems to work on 10's, probably due to it not being low profile.

key is to minimise offset of the rim towards the outside ..or ''negative offset'' this is what contributes to the thing flying all over the rd ,once over 120 bhp .

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

I bet those minispeed 10s that sit outside the 8.4" discs make for an interesting drive with decent power.

was looking at getting 3x4" offset wheels, reckon it would be ok? Wouldn't effect track handling at all?

Using that rim combo would be no problem at 14mm neg offset if it was a set of my wheels, but using them on MB Or Spectrums would result in even more neg offset at near 28mm poss .

I have a full set of 10x9s with Dunlop tyres on them - I can't remember the exact specs of the tyre offhand.

Also have a pair of 10x8s .

I bought them by accident when I thought I may do something useful with them... don't think that will be happening now though :(
