<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Hi Dustin, I'm running John Brown wheels on my TR3B vintage racer, 5.5 x 15 with an offsett of 15 mm. Most club rules allow +1 inch over factory stock width. Some guys cheat and run wider but clearance with the rear leaf springs or rear fender lip limit cheating. Rubber limit for me is the Hoosier Speedster 205 x 60 on the 5.5 inch rim without grinding leaf springs but the tread rolls side-to-side and you may need to remove the inner fender lip. I run 1/4 inch front spacers and -3 deg. camber in the front to clear front fenders. I also use rear spacers to adjust track width and clearance issues. Hope this helps.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, May 10, 2021 at 3:49 PM dustin nicholson via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Amici,<br>

What wheel width and offset are y’all running on a vintage legal track car?<br>
<br>
I’m looking at buying I set of vintage wheels that have practically zero offset. Attached are photos of my test fit that show the wheel sits in more than seems right. I like the wheels but I’m not sure they’re what I need.<br>
<br>
On the front the outer rim is a couple of inches inboard from the fender lip. On the rear the inner rim clears the leafspring by less than a half inch. You can see where the previous owner notched the leaf springs so the tire won’t rub, so I suppose I can make these wheels work but I might be giving up track width. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
