I still have not decided which size wheels to use. I have a set of 10" woferace with 175/65R10 as well as the 12" 155SR12 ones in the picture. If I get on ok with the 7" discs would there be any advantage using the smaller wheels for road use. Anyone?
To be honest, the 7" discs done by BMC were an absolute waste of time the old drums were much much better, now if they are 7.5" discs then thats another story and are a very good brake, I had them on my race mini and never ever had a problem stopping (with the right pad). The choices of wheel size is up to you, if your coupe is the 13" body it won't look very good with the 10" wheel, 12" again are small and you will be limited to tyre choice also, then again the 13" tyres are also hard to get. Again its up to you but I would stick with a 13" wheel on the Coupe.
