Pin Drive. 4" Backspace, biggest backspace you can do with 1 piece cast wheels as used on the original cars. That's why I've gone 310mm rotor on the front, allows me to push the hubs on the front in by 22mm each side. Will also have to tweak the rear, by a much bigger margin and make some mods to chassis that encroaches into the top of rear wheel arch area to fit in 295 rear tyres. 295 tyres are need to get the correct baggy look on 9.5" rear pin drives. Using 245's on the front.
The pin drives do fit without mods, especially if you run slightly narrower tyres, but stick out in the guards, which is a look I don't like. A few people have fitted them without mods. I want the wheels to sit right under the guards as they did on the originals.
Amazing the differences in the bodies. Robnell runs equivalent track front & rear and you can easily fit 3.6" backspace wheels on both ends.
