Default Arch extension question?

Afternoon all!!

I collected Jura's XXR's at the weekend and bolted them straight on.....the results are attached.

Really pleased with the look of the wheels, just need to solve the fitment issue. I've got adjustable camber bolts on order to dial in a bit of camber, friend of mine has an arch roller I can borrow but am I better going with extensions? If so, which ones?

The wheels are 8.75x18 ET20 running 245mm tyres.

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Adam

how will arch extensions help as you will need to cut away the metal underneath to avoid it rubbing, not really a diy job unless youre brave..

Adjust camber , roll the arches and maybe a small pull.

Your not too low so should be ok.

I know the arches would need cutting away, friend of mine works in a body shop is its doable..... Just want advice on what is the best course of action. Matt said you did yours yourself didn't you and then fitted the widetrack rear end? How did you do the front please?

Thanks, Adam

Thanks 6Volt. When you say a small pull.... What does that actually entail?

Thanks, Adam

Hi Adam

As per text you will need full wheel alignment as first thing,you are now running pretty standard camber and wheels are now stick out

With more camber(please read as -/minus) and arch rolling you shouldn't need any arch extension,with more camber you will gain mainly in cornering,just don't go crazy with toe,too much toe and you will eat tyres pretty quickly

We run on our wagon 255/40 and 245/40 and wheels just stick out little bit,here is picture who they stick



Tyres are same like you running and camber we run -2.00 at front and -1.5 at rear,zero toe at front and rear
