It's a good point. Smarter people than I are saying it'll work. Good spot we are using SU's from a Rover V8, early Range Rover ones as they are easy to get access to and service. They should do what's needed.
Even weirder snow tyres and 40 minutes away from Kuala Lumpur. The previous owner who started the restore runs a few rally cars and that was the plan for the XR4i hence it has rally tyres. Not for long

although I need to make a decision on brakes and then decide 16 or 17.
