I'm running the chromoly spindles sourced from Joe Siam, along with his alloy 
hubs.  switched to the hubs when a bearing race started spinning in one of the 
stock ones.
you can use Toyo R888, 205/60-13 tires if you want radials.  They almost last 
too long - there's still plenty of tread left after several race weekends, but 
after a certain number  of heat cycles (I need to count this) they lose some 
grip.  Still drivable, but definitely not as good.
A lot of the spridget people seem to run them too, though 185s, and I have seen 
a Yenko Corvair running 13" wheels with the same tire.

There's not much else out there that fits - some very expensive Avons are all 
that I have found.

GT-6 People--The front spindle shafts on the GT-6 are different [beefier] than 
even  TR-3-4.  Has anyone have to upgrade these?  Make any sense to machine 
outer part of the shaft to accept TR-4 bearing and use TR-4 hubs etc etc.  
Would be similar to the re-inforcing sleeve concept.  Have seen it done through 
my TVR experience.  Comments?   John Hagen
