sticky 195's are about as wide as you want to go or it will float at any hint of a wet road

Trouble is I am useing a small block ford and know it will just eat 195/205 width tyres. Was hoping to get all the panels from spud but looks like i will have to get the arches from agm. Tyre width vs hp is according to cyrus .788 mm tread width per hp, That sort of limits the car to around 160hp. 225 section tyre is going to be an absolute minimum and wider on the back if poss .

Hi Robo,

The rears wings will take 225 tyres, these are pretty much an industry standard wing when you look on most cars. The fronts will go up to 195 for each type of wing. Maybe consider 195 front and 225 on the rear to balance out hp against balance / grip.
