This might be a really stupid question....
But if I was to order new wheels for my griff, and I ordered 16" for front and 17" for back, would I need to get any extra modifications to my griff, bearing in mind that the wheels are four stud wheels and its a 1992 4.3
Would affect the handling etc.
BTW. I know about the TVR factory mod. but I don't like the Spiders!!
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Yes and no. There is a tyre size calculator on my website that will give the %age error. The tables are also printed in the bible 2 so that you can choose the new wheels/tyres to have the same circumference and not need to calibrate the speedo.

On the basis that you will run a lower profile tyre the overall rolling circumference should be the same. Generally for each 1" increase in rim size decrease the profile by 5 i.e. a 15" 50 profile equates to a 16" 45 profile, of course tyre width also affects this slightly. Steve Heath has a good tyre size calculator on his web site http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/shpub/ he also sells books about TVRs there Rich...
