Question Wheel Spacing

My Scooby is currently sat in the bodyshop having the 22b kit fitted........

......... Next problem is how to space the alloys so that they sit correctly in the arches ??????

Is there a professional method or hub extender out there that could do this properly for me.

Thanks Chris.

i don't know if you realise this but if you space out your wheels then you are changing your offset,which is not advised as it will mess with your handling.

What you really need are 22b rear hubs, and wheels with 22b offset...

I'm going to get all of the handling sorted out once it's back together, but the 22b hubs or another option of new brake disks that are made specifically for the extension of the wheels sound best.....

Any other ideas at all ????

If your going to use your current wheels then you will need to fit spacers. 22b alloys are 8.5" wide 48 offset which is one of the reasons they fill the wide arches.

Do you think that they produce the Prodrive Gold 18" alloys that are currently on my car with a 2b offset ???


If so, a brand new set of gold 18" alloys for sale
