Barry - I understand and hope for Good Luck with trial. Most of the 18s here are on racing Sevens with sticky tyres and apart from the latter occasionally digging in and causing a roll-over, the 18 seems to be the go whilst still looking vintage. Can't comment how they are on a road car. Also undertand your problem with wider 17s, as for many years we couldn't get 4.75x16 tyres here, had to fit 500s. Apart from the diabolical handling & steering, the damn things did their best to wear through the inner wheelarches at rear, so had to watch weight in car. (Good excuse to take out a girlfriend whilst leaving her mother at home). Has anyone over there tried the aforementioned over-riders? Cheers, Bill
