[ROVERNET - UK] Wheels

[Paul Smith]

To confuse it:
I use the wider steel wheels on my SC rear, with the original straight =
upper arms and 195 tyres.  Works fine.
I use the wider wheels all round on the TC, but it has the bent arms =
fitted and 3500 front hubs.
I also did the springs (3500 ones) all round, handles nicely.

You can fit 2000 wheels to V8 but not the other way around - the P6B had
5.5" wheels with 185HR14 tyres while the 4 cylinder cars had 5" and =
165R14.
Hence the reshaped lower arms.
