Do you know if you can go any wider if you could get the right tyres?

I have a set of rear callipers from an FSO/X19 I think, with addapor plates that fit 13" wheels. Unfortunately not fitted at present. I am thinking of just upgrading the wheel cylinders with ones off the front, these have a larger piston diameter, this is a suggestion Gadge came up with and it should provide greater breaking at the rear without the potential of locking up prematurely. It also removes the need for adapters, modified cables and pressure valves.

What adaptor plates are you using?  Are they the general ones everyone seems to sell?

Hi, you can see my calibrated fingers stuck between the wheel and the shock. There is at least an inch of space. I'll get you pics of it on full lock and the rears tomorrow.

Cheers

Marc
