Hi all,
So since I fitted the new alloys, the wheels have been sticking out a bit much. I did the VW brake conversion on front and only spaced the wheels out by 12mm. Also took off the rear spacered drums and put on std drums with 12mm spacer. This is the absolute minimum you can space without hitting the caliper and also to keep the wheel nuts from binding on the longer wheel studs. I have the std plastic wheel arches fitted but the wheels still stick out by 30 odd mm.
I would like to know what the width of the other wheel arches Group 7 etc, are when measured in the top middle.
Maybe Sean can give an idea?
