Just wondering what size wheels and tires some of you are using on your manxter, I have 4 wheel disc brakes and I am looking to change my wheels. I currently believe that they are too big and with the adapters pushed out too far. I seem to like the American Racing Torque thrusts and realize they are a special offset and back spacing. So if any one knows what off set and backspacing they have and how it handle's it would be appreciated.  I currently have Ridler 695  18" rims with 285/40 zr18 tires on the front and 20" with 315/35 zr20  on the rear.

We have 16 X 7 with 5" backspacing on the front and 17 X 9 with 5" backspace on the rear on Kathleen's Manxter.  Disk brakes have been drilled for the Ford pattern on the wheels with no adapters.  They fit under the fenders.  You are going to need a high horsepower engine to move those tires.  What are the "strakes" in the radiator vent in the side pods?  Tom

Sorry it took 6 months to respond  after a month and no responses i thought this site might have been dead.    I have read a lot of your posts on other places and have so many questions  about your manxter and scotts green manxter builds .  As for those strakes on the side  that was done by prev owner   Seemed he had some good ideas but never completed the buggy.  What i was told it was just taking too long and got slapped together at the end to make it drive so it could be sold.
