Help - tire clearance question for RSR
Also posted on Wheels/Tires and Racing board....
I will be taking delivery of a 73 RSR replica in the next few weeks. I am considering the purchase of some Fikse wheels (posted here on Rennlist)
The fronts are no problem. Current 275/40/17 on 17" x 9.5" rim. I will use 18" x 9.5" here with 275/35/18 which have the same diameter (height) as the 275/40/17.
The rear is in question. Total clearance after going from the current 11" wheel to a 12" wheel (total = inner + outer) is: 5/8 on the left rear (or 5/16 each side) and (gulp) 3/8 on the right rear (or 3/16 per side)
This is a race prepped car so suspension travel is not great, but of course is existant...
Help!!
