Well, the plan is 10"x14" steels with hyper stretched tyres.
As I typed that I was thinking of 185/60 14 tyres... but that might be toooo big a stretch (I'm good... dunno about that good...). Actually, 8-9" might be more realistic.... covered with trailer arches similar to (I believe) PukkaSilvias. And before people start quoting 'banded steels are illegal', they're actually not. And if you disbelieve me and can prove it, feel free to post the information (including reliable source) here - if they do prove to be illegal, I'd like to know. Not that it's relevant in this case, it's not a road car, I'd just like to be put right. Anyway, I've found a place ready to do the banding for £30 a rim - don't know about postage yet, and apparently if I supply wheels that turn out in the welding process to be buckled/ rusty whatever they will not be able to do them and won't be able to offer a refund. I've also emailed wide-wheels.co.uk for prices, and await the response with baited breath..... I'll keep you updated on my progress.

How do tyre sizes work? For a 10J rim (254mm) what size tyre would actually fit? Is it as simple as one that is exactly 254mm or near as doesn't matter, or is there another way of working it out using the aspect ratio?
If you get this done anytime soon then I'd be really interested in how much the rim weighs. Also how strong would it be? If it helps then S12's are the same PCD as MGB's and some Triumph's, Stags being one (I think the others are the TR's and 2000's), you can get some proper retroness for next to no money if you're willing to hunt about
