Took me about 18 months of fiddling all above and weight distribution also,on my lwb I replaced spun tank at rear put modified tank up front for weight over front wheels ,rear adjustable gaz shocks and a z bar on rear axle,I have a very soft front beam so used coilovers to control.now handles like a go cart

At the moment buggy has Porsche rear hubs and adaptors on front with 1979 Porsche Fuchs wheels 7-15 front and 9-15 rear, what other wheels would fit ?
Thinking of a change as georg wants to freshen the look up,
Tyres are 195 -50-15 and 275-50-15
