Beach Buggy Rolling Chassis Help / What size are my wheels?
Last post by Buggybaggy - Today at 11:25:11 AMOK a bit of a basic question, but I might as well ask to make sure.
These are the smaller ones, i.e. front, which I think are 7 x 14.
First photo inside edges of the bead seat.
Second from the outside edge of the rim.
Third from the inside edge of the rim.



Larger, rear wheels, which I think are 8.5 x 15.
Same measurement points as previously



Am I right, am I wrong, am I measuring completely incorrectly?

Last post by snoopy - Today at 07:43:01 AMThe make of tyre also has an effect on the width of the tread as tyre with a squarer edge have more tread and fill the arches, we measured a few down at Beer and the same size 275/60 or what ever it was had different tread widths.

When I replaced the chromies I thought they were 8" so had a pair of 8" banded steels made. Took the chromies off and they were 10"🤦�♂️
My shell has an odd phat ar$e to it and the 8" don't fill the back out.
(See below Piccie) You can guess where this is going......
Bought some new boots as a treat also.

Last post by Hugh - September 16, 2026, 02:28:27 PMExcellent Dave.
I am just confirming timings of entry and will put the answer on here.
Their poster says racing 12 till 5pm.
I'm at Leominster 20 minutes from the airfield but am happy to meet a few 'incomers' further away and come in as a small cruise. However, once I have a time we can always meet at The Bateman Arms car park in Shobdon and go in together from there.
