Fenders will be a must for MOT that will be an instant fail. Also the plod will likely not look favourably on the lack of fenders as I believe wheels need to be covered to protect pedestrians for cars to be road legal. Worth checking out ASAP..... would be good to see the modded twisy in a drag race with a standard one to visualise the difference this has all made.

They look great - but wider tyres don't necessarily give more grip - for constant weight, as the area in contact with the road increases, the pressure decreases, so the rubber won't deform as easily to fill the nooks and crannies in the road surface. They'll also give more air resistance, particularly as the top of the wheel is going twice as fast as the car, therefore 4x drag, so you may see your range decrease a little.

Very true Andy. When I worked and lived in Bavaria for 10 years where winter tyres are needed by law, it is well known that thinner tyres give far more grip than fatter ones in the snow and ice. On my old BMW Series 3 I used to fit the thinnest ones possible, 185s I think, instead of the standard 205s

@@zenzen9131 I had 255s on my 300ZX years ago - going anywhere in the winter was just silly with rear wheel drive and engine up front, so I got a Pajero as well and that coped with everything. Offroading in snowy Romanian mountains and quarries was some of the best fun I've ever had with it! Also aquaplaning is more likely, and not at all fun - I've had a few close shaves with those too!

And then there is the extra weight to carry around. And that extra Weight is in the wheels which means bigger rotational inertia. Bad for acceleration, steering and braking. The heavier wheels also increase unsprung mass. Bad for comfort and roadholding.

Isn't the rear tires cirumference a bit small compared to stock...? The front ones are ok, but to keep that staggered look, your rear could have been taller and/or wider. I have aftermarket wheels on my Twizy too: - OZ Racing Ultraleggera, 7x15, matt bronze (Weight: 4.99 kg./11.00 lb.). - Front tires: 195/45 R15, Nankang NS2. - Rear tires: 195/50 R15, Nankang NS2R (Next tire change will be 225/45 R15) Front weight: 12.15 kg./26.78 lb. Rear weight: 13.65 kg./30.09 lb. (Fenders/front cycle wings/mud guards in carbon fiber: Caterham style in front, Dax Rush style in rear.) Stiff(er), but who cares....... It looks and rides better :-)

Lighter weight wheels improve handling because you get a reduced weight bouncing up and down (Unsprung weight). Sampler weight wheels against heavy body give the bst handling. Heavier wheels mess with this. But reducing car body weight is not a road to perfection as the ratio sprung to unsprung gets worse. Excessive understeer can be not enough sprung weight at front. It can also be a steering geometry issue. The steering pivot line should hit the rod on tyre centreline. Then you add positive or negative camber and it all gets really complicated. Wheel spacers mess with the geometry often causing bump steer and aggravating understeer.

Uhh, 4.2% bigger in diameter.www.reifensuchmaschine.de/reifen_rechner/reifenrechner.htm Instead of 96km/h you would run a nice 100km/h. Normally that would kill it for the TüV here in Germany. But since the odometer of the Twitzy is also off by up to 5% you actually could make it legal by certifying it on a dynamometer. (Or just don´t care :-) )

The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1986/1078/regulation/63/made Section 63 of that clearly states you need covered road wheels on a motor vehicle if your using it on the road. Driving it without mudguards will invalidate your insurance as no insurers in their right mind will cover a vehicle on a public road that doesn’t comply with basic construction and use regulations. I would be inclined to look on the various kit car parts websites and see what’s available that can be adapted to suit the Twizzy.
