[Fot] Tire / Wheel Query

[Robert M. Lang]

Hi,

TR6, F Prepared Solo car.

I was shopping for tires yesterday and my fallback plan (Goodyear G19's) 
fell through as the company has none in stock in the R250 compound and 
there's nothing on the production schedule in the coming month.

No biggie, I'll just get a set of Hoosiers later when I actually need 
them. Turns out the set on the car now probably have a few events' life in 
them.

But I then started thinking that a lot of the fast guys in Solo are now 
running 16x10 wheels and the various radial tires (which seem to be 
in supply) also seem to be available in soft (GY R250 compound). But the 
switch would mean going to 10 inch wide wheels.

I'm pretty sure that fitment shouldn't be a huge deal other than the 
wallet hit, but I thought I might ping the list to see if anyone can offer 
any experience either with 16 x 10 wheels or running the straight sidewall 
radial (or bias, if they are available) race tires.

And yes, I know it's not vintage.

:-)

On the same topic, I haven't looked at a GCR for 5 years or so, but is E 
Prod still limited to 15x7 wheels?
