Calling all widearch gc8s
Can I please see your widearch gc8s on current wheels you have running, make, model, width, offset etc.
I'm trying to decide what wheels I would want and I'm not clued up on sizes to get when going widearch. I've got my eyes on some works wheels but I'll need to start saving lol. I'm firmly sticking with 17s I think, not sure if I need 9" wide or 9.5 etc and then et to match. Quite limited in 17s form. Let's see what you got Thanks |
You've probably seen it, and I'm not normally a fan of widearch scoobys but there's something about Orangemans classic widearch wagon, it just looks right: https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...sti-wagon.html

Thanks guys, but I need width and et of wheels your using?
I'm thinking more along the lines of 9 or 9.5j with et 20 or 30 |
The next time i go to my car i will have a look for you.
|
18x9.5 et 20 265/35
Hope that helps |
9.75j et25 5/100 17s
That's what I'll be using |
Don't do it man, leave it narrow body. The bolt on arches are ok for cars that "need" the wide wheels. Don't kill a nice classic by doing something irreversible just for the sake of styling. Especially when it's been done to death.
Car looks nice as it is For me yes the bubble arches were good when first out when there was only a few. Now Everyman and his dog has them, coulpled with xxrs and a daft wing that does nothing but add drag Don't get me wrong they are a good option if wide tyres are needed, yes they have a place, but not for looks. Grey type r looks good |
Nice i have to see this in the flesh sometime.

Grey type r looks good Thanks joe, but yes I would like to run wider wheels for better grip tbh, the back end can get lairy if my Dccd is not pushed into lock a bit. There is also a very slight surface rust coming through at back arch which is not visible that much unless you really look, I had thought I'd eliminate that by widearch also, but this will be done at a later date as widearch means, new wheels and new tyres at great cost. Just doing some research ATM. |
