I know it's a bit of a odd one, but I might be buying a puma with a Frp kit to resell my track car. But I run 15's for availability, choice and cheapness of tyres also I have a light set of wheels. It has 17's on it but how bad would it look on 15's?

Any pics would help greatly!

Harry,
 
As far as I can tel, you can't fitt 15" wheels, on the frp brakes, 16" is the minimum.

Althoug some say that some motorsport 15" wil fitt. but i don't know wich.

to my opinion 16" is way to smal for the frp arches..... I have 16" winter tyers that I used when I had to use it in the winter, and I had a set of escos 16" but it simply looked to sma for my taste...
 
^This, you can't fit most 15s over the Alcon brakes on the front.

Functionally I'm sure they'd work fine if you have standard brakes on the replica.
 
Thanks for the replies..

I made a typo up there in my first post. I meant re-shell!
So I'll be swapping my entire setup, my 300mm's for under my 15" wheels at the minute so that's not an issue.
I just don't want it to look silly! Haha

Harry,
 
This is mine, whit 16"s

That looks really smart!
Liking the White, never seen one before!
 
Most motorsport 15's are fine although you need a decent offset or spacers to clear the caliper from the spokes.

its way high due to no engine, no interior and the coilovers set quite high for gravel. Plenty you can lower it if needs be.

Those are et35 comps. I have 20mm spacers so in reality equivilent to a et15 wheel on standard hubs.

Space around caliper:

There is a good 10mm minimum between caliper and spokes.

This is 16x8 oz super T's in et25:

Ahh I see!

Spot on mate, just what I needed to see! Hopefully going to collect the car tomorrow!

If it doesn't go ahead is there anyone that still has or supplies a rep frp kit? I know kizza did but he is just a messer...

Harry
