Narrow front wheels for the B4

[mikeyscott]

I've got some of the schumacher stagered rib tyres, but they need to fit the thiner rims. What make of wheels do I need to look for?

Use stock wheels but cut the inner rib off. So the outside of the tyre sits in the normal outer rib but the inside of the tyre sits against what would normally be the middle rib.

Technically you don't have to cut the outer rib off but it looks REDICULOUS if you don't.

Mmm ok I'll look at that.

Thing is I need to purchase some new front wheels anyway, so the thought was getting some wheels the right size for each set of tyres I have etc etc.

best to do what Dan says, tracking down narrow wheels is a pain and your only going to use them for ribs probably and a set of ribs last forever... almost every other tyre fits the normal wide front rims and same for rears

[mikeyscott]

What a pain.

Just seems stupid to order up some new wheels to them hack them up

I use lexan scissors, it's like a 10 second job and it's done. No different to buying a new set of tyres and chopping the inner and outer rows off them (or more if you're captain understeer like me).

JC Racing do a narrow wheel set for the B4, it contains a pair of narrow fronts and a pair of slightly narrower rears and costs about £7. Any shop with a CML account can order them for you.
