: Scott, Thanks for the info. I was going
: by the posted rules for the vintage
: classes that allow the stock rim with
: plus 1". Since the stock rim
: width for the GT6 was 4.5", I am
: assuming that I will be limited to
: 5.5" width rims. The other issue
: that concerns me is the car currently
: has fender flares that will need to be
: removed and the stock wheel opening
: will have to be restored. I don't know
: if the 6" wheels will fit with
: stock fender dimensions and/or if the
: wheel spacing will be correct once the
: fenders are back to normal. There are
: a couple of groups out there that will
: let people run non-compliant cars or
: cars built to specifications later than
: 1972, but since my car has pretty good
: history, I am more concerned about
: putting it back as it was in 1971
: rather than building a practically new
: car from ground up. I checked into one
: group that would let me keep the car
: with the monster flares and practically
: zero ground clearance but they put it
: in a special group for cars later than
: 1972. The problem with that group is
: they require a full roll cage and
: safety equipment for current SCCA cars.
: My car still has the original roll bar
: with the log book number stamped on it
: and I would like to keep it that way.
: So basically, after I have investigated
: all of the options and taking the car's
: history into consideration, I am trying
: to follow the published rules and stick
: to keeping the car as it was raced in
: 1971.

: Hi, Jay - not sure if you are planning
: on
: going vintage racing, but on the East
: Coast SVRA and virtually every other
: organization I'm aware of will allow
: you to run 6" wide wheels - I
: think the general rule is 1" wider
: than stock. The GT6 racers I know are
: running 13x6 wheels with 205/60-13
: tires, typically Toyo R888s, or Hoosier
: Street TDs - can't remember the size as
: those are bias ply tires.

: I have a set of real forged magnesium
: MiniLite wheels for sale. They came
: off of my ex-SCCA DP GT6. They are
: 13" x 6" with 5 1/8"
: back spacing. I have wheels spacers
: available. I am converting the car
: back to 1972 specs, so the extra wide
: wheels have to go. These are hard to
: find in these dimensions. I am asking
: $2400 plus shipping for the set. High
: resolution pictures are available on
: request. JayMeilstrup@yahoo.com or
: 775-848-4788.
