Re: "Mini-Lite" 14" wheels on Marcos 1600GT?

2006-09-22 by Don Lattimer

All kinds of variables here as Paul and Donny have mentioned.  I run 
16" wheels on my steel frame car.  Took a lot of measurements 
beforehand and then had wheels made to my backspace requirements.

Mike Denman has "mini-lites" on his wood-framed car.  Maybe hecan 
help with backspace numbers, etc.

Stephen has 14" wires on his Steel-framed car.  His were specially 
done I believe.

Be careful!
