Smudge62 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 The Sport 250 comes with 7" x 15" front & 8" x 15" rears, if changing to 13" and ZZR tyres what width tyres & rims should be used or is there a better tyre that should be used, the car will be for sprint and hills.

Alex Gaskin Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 7x13" fronts are common within the speed series, however people in D and F have been running 8" fronts as well as rear. If you're set on ZZRs, then you'd either want 215/55/13 on all corners, or 185/55/13 for fronts and 215/55/13 on the rear. For rims you'd either want Compomotive CXR, or Force Racing Wheels. Force are lighter and (In my opinion) look nicer on Westfields, however they will cost a bit more, you'd be looking at spending around £850 for a set of new Force wheels. Whereas the CXRs are about £500-£600 for a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Which class do you wish to run in ( Road Going?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge62 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Class would be F Doesn't have to be ZZR tyres and am open to suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 ZZR are fine in Westfield class F but you will need to run in mod prods against slick shod cars on the day. You will also need a HANS device Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge62 Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Thanks Terry, I was just trying to find a tyre that will get the best out of a turbo car without going to the expensive of buying both slicks and wets at least to start with, I did look at Kumho V70's but I thought the regular supply of them is not great, any other suggestions.

Terry Everall Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The Avon ZZR (from BMTR) are probably the best for what you want Certainly the 215 rears and then either 215 or 185 fronts Force rims are good and probably nearer £900 a set Don't know where you get new CXRs these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
