Default Another abw thread, but different?

So, the abw arches, as marmite as the fmic? Regardless, I like them.

From what I gather, most people who have driven a classic with 17's and 18's would say the 17's are more of a 'drivers wheel'. Another taboo but not the point of this thread!

When looking for pictures of abw's on a classic all I can find are ones with wide 18's that look raw, however rarely do I see them running wide 17's.

Not only would they be arguably more drivable, the saving in tyres will be noticeable on tracks etc.

Has anyone got any pics of a classic with the abw/17inch/wide wheel combination?

The race car at Richard Henry Motorsport runs them, it looks sweet as its on 255's but is normally tucked away so can't really have a proper gander.

here is mine, but i am on 18s but as the wheels are bigger than standard you get a taller side wall ie 215 35 18 =308mm and 255 35 18 =336 so you get a better ride .i prefer the 18 on the track
