no wider for me :(

[Laura]

well i was looking at getting some 9 inch wheels for the back
got under n had a look today thinkinh i could keep the 35 et and go wider
which means an extra3 quarters of a inch on each side wider, that wud be ok on the outer edge just about fit but had a look n there is no room at the back gutted

Cant you get a spacer kit??

 

[Middo]

would throw it out of the arch then which would mean an arsey copper would have a field day, but also meaning raising and stiffening the rear suspension to ensure clearance over the arch

 

[Laura]

^^ what he said

 

[cli0 172]

why 9" ??

 

[Middo]

bit pointless swapping for an 8'' as the 7.5's look good

 

[Laura]

they dont do a 8"

and its euro to have wider wheels on the back with a bigger lip

 

[Alan]

why 9" ??

Dont the ladies normally ask you why you give the full 12?

so what is the widest you can have on the front and back?

 

[Laura]

7.5 all round it would seem

Just get a different ET, can roll and lip the rear arches.

 

[Laura]

arches are very hard to roll as they are half the rear bumper which is made of plastic so would have to be heated and re moulded.. not easy and can look shite, plus very expenisive if you can find somewhere to do it

 

[Batman]

hmm may have to see what i have one at the mo!

 

[Laura]

huh?

 

[Batman]

i have 17s on wondering what width they are

 

[Laura]

i guess you will have higer suspension

whe ni got mine done for 18s (i know i didnt need too) they just cut the plastic off the bumper and rolled the rest, all for £50

 

[Laura]

didnt you have to have stuff resprayed??

if not where from

 

[kpowell911]

na they just used an arch roller then cut the plastic with a saw.

I wouldnt have needed a respray, but my car was in for all the bodywork anyway.

It was done @ Energized - UK, in wolverhampton.

Prestiege Motor Bodies In Rowley Regis do it too.

 

[Laura]

humm not liking the sound of cutting with a saw lol.

 

[kpowell911]

IT was like an air tool.

 

[Laura]
