Author’s Cars; Wheel Swap Fitment Check
March 18, 2011
Figured seeing as I had the Sunny Coupe here now that I’d throw the ‘champs on it for shits and giggles to see just how bad the clearance issues would be.
Not so shabby from the side but you can see there's a tyre issue.
Here you can see that the front has some clearance issues.
It’s actually not all that bad as far as the rear goes, even with those large tyres on it, it would only take a little lip of the guard for them to clear perfectly, so it’s safe to say that a 7.5″ -13 is a good fit for the rear of a KPB310, you could fit wider so long as the width went inwards and the outer dimensions remained. You could easily fit a 7.5 or greater on the front too, but would need a far more positive offset or some camber adjustable tophats to cater for that and crank some serious tyre destroying camber.
The obvious is that it would also need epic amounts of slam to go with other wheels.

Inspiration; Triumphant Completion
March 15, 2011
Some of you may either know or recall that Richard used to own a white Triumph Mk. II Sedan. It was a car that I was privileged enough to be allowed to use while I stayed with him on a visit to the northern island, that was some time ago now and Richard had since sold the car and then almost immediately regretted it and pined for another. Some time later he bought this 2500PI from some Goat.
Good for it's age, no doubt.
It needed a few bits and pieces sorted and a general little clean up so Richard proceeded to spend more money on it than he initially planned. Ahh cars, it’s a tale often told amongst enthusiasts.
