I've been thinking about getting "dunlop style" wheels for the Plus 8: as they are 5 hole fitting I guess no spline drive adaptors so about GBP350 to 400 each and I could have front wheels the correct rim width for 225 tyres, instead of the rims intended for 245 tyres!!
The idea was also to go to 18" and fit 40 profile, not 35: a much wider choice of rubber, including all weather.
MMC fit 8.5 wide rims all round, with 225 wide on the front and 245 on the rear. At the rear this is a good combination but on the front 7.5" rims would be considered a normal fit: 225 on 8.5 rims is at the very limit of what is safe.
Time to contact Image and also find out where to get the "Dunlop" decals used on the MGB recreation!
