15" tyres

[Blair]

Hey Bernie I got a set of Goodyear Blue Streak Eagle Tyres from (I think) Melbourne Terrace Tyres. Here is the Goodyear webiste http://www.racegoodyear.com/products/racect36.html Got some pretty good pics in my gallery, however after saying this, the sidewall on these tyres is really big and I had trouble fitting the little monsters in (had to change the housing and did the diff at the same time. But if you love 15s and love Big White Writing on the sides there is no other choice.

Strangely enough the COPS might think differently, because on the sidewall of the tyre it says "for racing purposes only not for street use". But they'll probably only book you for the white lettering!

DRB's have smaller wheel arches than most of the other replicas in Aus. We actually widened the rear opening a little on our DRB by pulling back the rear edge of rear guards. Also added SC style flared lips as well. And at that time had to flare the front guards to cover the tyres...flared front guards are in the mould these days.

The upside of DRB guards is that they have very close gaps between top of guard and top of tyre, so gives them the illusion of a very low stance.

You crack me up.

Another trick is to run largest diameter tyres you can, also makes car look low. Just make sure you lower the car to correct for increase in height the larger diameter tyres give you. Bought largest diameter tyres I could for my GT40...just can't wait to fit them.
