Re: Wheel Specs

[Glenn Merrell <gmerrel@domain.elided>]

Hello Tim
    Tis true that changing to the 15" wheels and lower profile tires
will change the handling from that originally designed into the car.  It
depends on what you whant to do, that being to stick like glue to the
track you point with the steering wheel at 100 mph, or jolly around the
corner at 60 mph.  Tony, being a racing enthusiast, knows that and does
both.
    The dynamics you should expect with a 15" wheel and low profile tire
is a stiffer ride due to less tire sidewall available to flex,  and
handling to compliment your poly bushes, very precise road handling and
complete road feel.  Remember that all that road feedback would then be
going directly into the suspension components, so it is obvious you can
expect more rapid wear in those parts.
