4.38 ratio?!?! Wow, I hope you tow it to the track! Dou you even use 1st IIRC, the rule of thumb is that wheel width should be at least 75% of tire width, and that's pushing it. A 6" rim is only 67.7

I was using 225/50/14's on my roadster with 7" rims. I had to modify the front and rear fenders. I think the widest you will be able to use is a 205 without modifications. I would stick with the V700

Nope. And the track is over 100 miles away in San Diego. Grandma, in her 77 Ford LTD wagon, passes me on the freeway, while I'm turning 4.5 grand. It's a little annoying. OK, It's a lot annoying. Bu

It could be more than tires that keep you in front, a lot more. I think a good driver would be able to change his driving style to fit the grip of the car and make the smaller tires work for them. H

A pyrometer would also be very helpful to "see" how your car is handling and for setting it up too, including that very important freebie - tire pressure. If you're a serious racer you gotta have a p

He bought his tires about the same time I did. I think the other roadster guy doesn't push his car quite as hard as I do. I still think he would be quicker with the wider tires. blame treadlife (the

Is there a web site that charts what tire width fits what wheel? Not really, because it varies with each tire and manufacturer. If you are looking at a tire on the Tire Rack Web site, click on the "S
