Kirk Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Far to wide of a tyre and far to big of a wheel. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Far to wide of a tyre and far to big of a wheel. Just my opinion. Not heard that one before, most race cars seem to have the biggest wheels/tyres they can fit on the car, maybe we should all go back to stock wheels, oh hang on, didnt you do some off roading on stock wheels?:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Clearly handling isn't important in this build It will handle as well as it will perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The num brothers are proof of that and yes I did some off roading in stock wheels on a greasy road with not exactly ideal tyres? Your point?

My point, Ibrar has put a massive amount of time/money/work into a stunning car, if your only comment is to have a dig at the setup then its best to kept to yourself.

TheTurtleshead Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) It should handle fairly well, mine's on wiiiide 19's I'm confident I could hold my own in the twisties with any other BPU car on the forum. Be prepared for it to follow lorry ruts/cracks in the road etc a bit mate, can't really be helped with the wide wheels! To be fair its a show/road car not a track car, and you wouldn't run 19's on a track car anyway Edited February 4, 2012 by TheTurtleshead (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 To be fair its a show/road car not a track car, and you wouldn't run 19's on a track car anyway Thank you turtlehead. Someone who understood where I was coming from. As for the car, its easily the cleanest car I've seen and looks fantastic. I have no doubts it will be a masterpiece once completed and I look forward to seeing finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Whoah dont rope me into it, i'm neutral, its a fantastic build! I was being positive about the car! Like I said I run 19's with a 13j rear myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 The car will be used as a street / show car and I would like to do a few top speed runs too. Yes it will tramline with the wider tyres and track width, however I am very confident it will handle superbly with a full suspension Geo setup.

Guest ugp Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Cracking looking car, the mechanical sympathy part of me does crop up though. What's the load on them hubs going to be like? 13J rim with spacers, or have you ditched the spacers now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
