Talking about 13" wheels still? Reason I ask is that my friend has 8"
ACB10s on 15" wheels. He went for 8" width wheels and they look about
right. On my 13" wheels, the 8" wide ACB10 tread is in line with the
bead inside the wheel. The tyre sidewall bulges out slightly further
than the edge of the wheel. It all looks pretty much in line and when
you lean heavily on them on trackdays, you can feel that there is
little/no lateral movement as the car shifts weight from one side to the
other.
