Tire and Wheel size

[EGLITOM]

Hi

would like to find out the exact wheel and tiresize of those two cars.

Both of them probably have some means for limiting the steering angle to avoid tires touching the sill panels. What you think?
1075 ( assume 11(10)x15 front and 14x15 rear, with 11.0/23.5x15 or 10.5/23 x15 front and 13.0/25.0x15 rear or 15.0/26.0x15)

Sbarro 1085a ( assume 10(11)x15 front and 13(14)x15 rear, with 11.0/23.5x15 or 10.5/23 x15 front and 13.0/25.0x15 rear)

Thanks TOM

I tend to doubt that they are limiting steering travel to avoid the sills. I would think that back-cutting the sills to the point where the sponsons would be the first point of contact is the way they would have done it.. Those are some very large tires.

Hi Randy

you may be correct on this one.

Like the look of those tires. They don´t feature the high aspect ratio of the tires first used on GT40s, they are periodcorrect (1075) but do look a bit more modern and give the cars a nice agressive stance.

Thinking about to use me 17" wheels on street ( tire availablity) and convert my 15" to trackwheels close to that sizes.

I would also like to know what size tires are on Jim Clark Jr's car. They look pretty wide in the back.

Tom.,
I havé same 17 for Road and 15 for track.
Problem is on 17 rear tire. I have 295 with Michelin Pilot Sport but they are not available any more (GTD standard rear panel and 10 wide wheels ).
Any options you can think of?
