Home / Ariel Atom / Improvements / Wide Wheels/Tires 19
Wider wheels and tires were added to improve the car's traction and balance.The Atom comes from the factory with 205 front and 225 rear width tires. I had upgraded to 245 width in the rear, but more traction & balance improvements were needed. These photos show what's involved with an upgrade to 225 front and 295 rear width Hoosier A6 tires.
