I`m at it again! ::)
I`m making a set of car-wheel 'stools' (of another person`s design; pic. as below)
I have the height dimension in mind (e.g high enough to enable transmission changes and exhaust work) but I wonder if someone may tell me the widest section-width of tyres commonly fitted to the Omega; so I can make them wide enough to fit other`s cars at meets or on loan etc. ;)

245mm.....I think Debs.....Is that your 911....have you become a yuppie?... ::) ;) :-*
-
As O says... 245 is (I think) the largest standard size. Oh... And ignore the car geek, although I did notice the Porker badge on the wheels ::)
As a small suggestion, It may be worth modifying the feet of these stools to make them better suited to tarmac/softer surfaces :-/

Excellent point L.D. :y ......would 16 off; 75mm. squares, cut from 5 mm. thick plate be o.k for the foot pads?

I have just had to correct my spelling......Yuppie ......not Yuppy....But then.... no red braces ....and a Porsche 911....for me in the eighties.. ;D ;D ;)

Thanks for the measurement chaps; 245mm. it is, then. :y

I didn't realise it was a restoration, just thought you were recycling ;D

Would have thought so... If anyone tries to use them on a surface soft enough for them to sink into they would be a prime candidate for Darwin anyway ::) ::) ;D ;D

Looks like the beginings of "another" press to me .... :)
