I would like to go with Minilites for the front and rear of my 914-6 GT project. I am considering the Mag style with 7X15 fronts and 8X15 rears. I would like to pair these with the Michelin TB15 tires. The sizes would be 18/60R15 (215/55-15) front and 23/62R15 (270/45-15) rears.
Anyone have experience with this combination on a GT clone? Will I require spacers on either the front or rear? |

I've currently got a set of the Michelin TB5s on 8x15 Fuchs, with spacers, and it's a great setup - however I have Tangerine Racing flares not GT...
The Hoosiers I've been using for track are actually about 23" diameter and it's never been a problem (for track) even though I have short gears as well. The car tops out around 135mph-ish which is not even achievable at some of the venues. |
