                          They were 8.5" fronts and 10" rears Steve. My Bruv owns them now after going through another pair of hands first

                            Great shots Glen. I have a smile on my face every time I drive mine, and so do the spectators

                            The tyre bill is the only painful bit of the experience

                              Matt, 10" rears on Semi-Tubs..........any issued with clearance and wondering what size tyres you used on those ?

                              So many questions from me............sorry and thanks for taking the time

                                Hi Steve, Matt never had any clearance issues, I think most of the width was outwards to fill the arches. Those particular wheels only carried slicks, so different sizings. Road wheels were 9's on the rear, and took 215/45-15's I believe. Finding road tyres to fit on the 10's is definitely proving to be a little hard, so may have to go with 225's and stretch them.
