Thanks Burgundymog,
I had wondered if that might have been the case as the crosshead is the same width as the 4/4. Personally I would probably consider fitting the 195 tyre and installing rub rollers, after all how often do you use full lock. More technically you could install steering rack stops in the slot at each end of the rack to restrict the full amount of lock achievable but that might be just too much trouble. I am sure though that owning one you will have excellent knowledge of tyre options which will work. For me, I was drawn to the plus 4 2009 model-on as it has the roadster body, so I don't have that issue. I might be being dense here, but was the narrow bodied car made purely for aesthetic reasons ie. to look like an original 4/4, I know they were made only to original customer order request. Is there any other benefit I'm not aware of?
I suppose you could increase tyre width on the back for better grip/traction and leave the fronts standard. I have of course seen the narrow bodied cars and assumed MMC only made them after standardising the chassis across the range at the demise of the plus 8. Is it the same body wise as the 4/4?I would love to know why and how they came about. There are quite a lot of high performance cars about with a much narrower track at the front than at the rear and with wider profile rear tyres, I wonder if MMC saw this as a racing option chassis yet on a standard car?
