Extreme360 referred me to this site from the kitcar forum, and whilst I'm not yet an owner - I do have a 406 coupe and a saw!
I've already decided to rip up the front garden and concrete it over to hold a makeshift garage (Good call fletch) and I'm drawing up a list of ancillary bits until I get the DVD from Damian. I'm also making sure I give my Fiancee due attention up to our Wedding in October in order to make sure it does actually happen
So anyway, the question I have is to do with wheels.
Will the 360 build take :
19" Jag XK8 wheels
Rim width: 8J Front, 9.5J Rear
The front tyres are 245 / 40 / 19
The rear tyres are 275 / 35 / 19
my coupe already has 17" OZ fronts with spacers and 235/40 tyres, and these rub the inner arch at full lock so are 19" 245's too wide?
Also wondered about the 275 rears - I think this is the Default for the 360 at 18" but didn't know if the 406 arches would take 19" at 275
Lastly, will wheels/tyres this large reduce the effective power transfer to the tarmac - in other words would a smaller wheel/tyre configuration give better performance without looking too small for the car?
Cheers
