Grand Sport, Grandsport Body mod possibility?
Hello:
For those who really drive your Grand Sports, is the space allowed for tires (Width) sufficient to run the size of tire you feel would be optimum for your car?
Instead of the 275 mm Rear, and 235 mm Front, tire, I know some have run a 275 mm front, and a 305 mm on the rear.
How did those feel on your car?
Was there any fitting problems? (ie:rubbing)
Any type of wish list you wouldn't mind sharing "IF" you could have built the original 63 GS "Lightweight" yourself, with your 20/20 hindsight you possess now after learning, and driving the current reproductions 50 years after their creation?
I'm really interested in your thoughts as I have some wiggle room with my car, given it is a "What If" car of what could have been developed for the "Light weight" had GM not canned the project before it even really got off the ground.
Thanks in advance for any and all input.
