How much extra offset is needed compared to the standard ET50-ish? Would a hub-centric spacer do the trick, with 225/45 on 17x8 rims?

Andy

 

IIRC those wheels are the same as mine and 10x18 et20

 

Ah but R1ch, we're now talking about those same arches fitted to a classic

 

I'm going to make these one's so that you can use standard offset wheels and a 25mm spacer Andy .
cheers Daren

 

Daren I have 8*17 ET35 wheels, would they be ok with these arches without a spacer?

 

I still want mine doing please Daren

 

Yeah but he used my wheels to start his process of making them.

 

I've finally made some arches up to use as a base for these new arches ,
I'm using 25mm spacers and standard offset 18" wheels


fronts are straight forward enough so they're pretty much done !


rears need to be cut for the door opening , I've tried a few different lines for the cut but this seems to work best ??



should have time to do a bit more tomorrow

 

oooooh I'm liking the look of them

 

Look really good. Do you have any idea on pricing yet? Also are you able to do a spraying and fitting service?

Thanks
Andy

 

Hi Daren,

I have 17"x7" speedline turini wheels on my type R, they have a offset of et48 and I have 215/45 tyres on them, the car rides at standard height.

Will the 25mm spacers you suggest be ok, and do you sell the spacers.

I have noticed, when comparing to others, that these wheels do seem to sit deep in the arches at the rear.

Cheers, Paul.

 

no worries mate , let me know when you're ready for them

I'm hoping to make these a little simpler to make and hence slightly cheaper than the other classic arches (£200) . Bodyshops flat out atm. but may be able to fit/paint soon

Yes Paul we sell the spacers , I'll see what 17" wheels/tyres I've got and get some more pics taken

 

Are the arches above ready for sale mate?
How much are they and how much are the spacers?

 

How much will u charge to cut and fit no need to paint as a mate spraying hole car ? If 2 busy anyone else u would recommend fittin ? Cheers rob

 

Not yet buddy , approx 2 weeks . Spacers are £200 set (4) I'll get a price for the arches next week

 

pm. sent Rob

 

Do some of these for the type R bodyshell.

 

I'll probably take a set of the arches and spacers then mate

 

they're already done Neil

ok buddy

 

Will the arches bond on?
Would the price come down at all if i have both spacers and arches?
PM me if prefered

 

yes and yes

 

Good man
I'll keep a close eye for when they are ready and stick an order in

 

I've cut the rears today and started on the returns , just a bit of finishing now and a coat of paint ready to take a mould

 

Look forward to the type r version...

 

i look forward to pictures of these painted on a car

ive been after these for ages just ive never made the 100% part yet as i dont want silly wide tyres or not seen them finished off

 

Darren,

Does the original rear arch need cutting away only right at the top, ie hidden under the extension? If it needs cutting away further down it would look untidy with the door open, if you see what I mean.

 

the arch will need cuttung further round too mate , looks neat when done properly though
