Thanks, I'm afraid I'm going to have to change rims. I'll be in touch.

If you sand own the center rib on the Carrera rims Ninco classic tires will fit just fine. As far as the PG tires, don't forget on urethanes you can sand the sidewalls to allow for tight quarters. My ROAR car has this set up on it, only my rear tires came from a little shadetree operation in Southern California.

Paul's 21062V should fit front and rear as the rims are the same size.

yes, the 21062V will fit if you sand the center flange about 1mm. The axles are too narrow for my Tire Razor though. I had to cut the flanges with a large set of toenail clippers and then finish them by hand. Some experience required! Not to mention the ruined axles and hubs the first time trying this. I did one this way and then gave up! The Cobras have the same size front hubs, pain in the....

The 21073SE-XD fit easier, and if left overnite before sanding, they take the shape of the hub nicely. All 4 of my Jags had very true hubs and hand sanding was very easy.

I ordered some CB Design 14x6 Classic Steelies and plan to drill vent openings to look like the stock wheels and use the 20062V on front and 21062V on the rears.

Good Luck....:)
