They ran 16" wheels. The set I have are 7 inch wide but these were the narrow set. I think there was an 8 and maybe a 9 inch wide wheel used...

Can't remember!! They were slicks but I can't remember the size.

I got rid of the slicks ages ago too.

My old knacker has had the rear arch lips ground back but there is still a lip there although not much. I am on 205 40 16" rear tyres with coilovers on ET35 Compomotives. It's a close fit.

For me to run the mag alloy Datapost rims, I need to get them modified to change the offset to ET35 instead of ET15 and ET22.
