any classics with wide wheels
 

looking for some ideas of wide wheels 9.5 ect on a classic, anyone running them

9.5J is for wide arch conversions only mate,you would never fit them under normal arches

Anything over 8 inch wide and your going to be needing arch work and coilovers I would think.

ok..so 8" wide pics would be nice to see.. i wouldnt mind a wider look (wheel wise) on my RA. my wheels are 7.5", would i be able to fit spacers to widen them out?

8x17 ET35 wheels, arches needed rolling and pulling on the rear for clearence

would that be the same on all classics mate, inc sti's or is that just for your car

I dont think my tyres helped either as they are a 45 profile and the sidewall is quite big, if you went slightly higher offset say ET45 and a 40 profile tyre you would probably just need to roll the arches :thumb:

cheers mate

We are currently building a Classic race car that will be running 9.5's and this will give you an idea to the work involved for clearance mate.

Nice carpet. I've got a similar one in my bedroom! :thumb:

Are you putting wide arches on Adam,what style mate?

nice mate.. ive got a v2 sti ra with milleniums on but mine are 7.5 x 17" i just want that bit wider look. have you had any issues with rubbing or had the arches done

Thanks mate, when i bought the wheels they came as a package with budget tyres which buffed slightly for some reason. i rolled the rear arches up a few mm,s but when i changed the tyres there was loads of clearance... the cheap tyres although the same size had wider side walls for some reason so in reality the arches didnt need rolled! :confused:

18x8 oz superleggeras. lip has been rolled

Still on the case Bio. It's at Curly Mouldings at the moment having arches and front end made and fitted. WIll be collecting soon. Will be updating thread soon.

I love the V2 RA. I have to say, that looks bloody clean!!
