Default New Wheels and tyres

I just had to show off the new addition to the Cobra. Got my boxes from Vintage Wheel Works delivered on Friday. Took them straight in to get the tyres fitted. Early home from work and straight on the car.












More photos in my gallery

regards

Mick

Mick, they look the business! Did you get Sumi HTR Z IIIs? What size and how's the clearance looking? I think it was Merv who recently fitted these wheels to his Harrison and there clearance issues. Also do the spinners stick out on the front wheels?

Paul,

I got the Sumitomo HTRZ II 's. 235 's and 275's.
Clearance looks fine. Spinners do stick out on the front wheels. Will not be there for Rego...

Fair enough Mick. Hey what profile are they? Looks like you've got a bit more sidewall than a lot of the 17s I've been looking at. I'm still torn between the muscle look of 15s and the practicality of 17s. Decisions decisions...

Well done Mick. Same mob as I got mine from. They (Eli) are a delight to deal with, I found. Your wheels seem to sit in the arch about the same as mine (I am relieved to see!). My motor is not in yet but I have loosened the shock absorbers and tested the wheel arc and they should 'just' pass muster as they tuck in a little with the lower body height with motor and all. No probls. with the spin offs. I got the Sumitomos from Tire Rack for 17". Very pleased with the whole deal,.

Merv

Also Mick - which wheel nuts did you use? The 1/2 or the metric one?

Merv,


I could only use the 1/2"nuts on the rears i.e. Ford pattern, the other one wasn't metric, i thought it had a 7/16"on it... and it didn't fit the front DARKSIDE i.e Holden wheel studs.
