Once again thank you all very much for your advice, on balance I think I'll find a set (4) of 4.5" van rims and mate them with some 165/70 European or Japanese rubber which should do the trick for me.
Anyone got 4x 4.5" van rims surplus to requirements please??
Regards
Steve

Re: Sensible upgrades ??
Now that is a good idea, can you send me your supplier please and I'll get some. I've never had need to remove the reflectors, do you prise the lenses out/off or does the whole unit unscrew anti clockwise? I assume they're wired into the sidelights? behind the wheel arches. I have a LED red fog ligh...

Re: Sensible upgrades ??
Well yes, not quite like the '65 Shelby Mustang nor the Sierra RS 500 Cosworth did, but very tolerably so. The engine was professionally rebuilt less than 3k ago, but it suits my needs and expectations currently. I have seen/heard of a Moggie with a Ford flat head V8 in it, interesting, but a step t...

In spite of running against the gearbox downhill, it soon became obvious th...
