What sort of wheel width would you be able to get on a classic without modifying the arches. I was wondering can you go to 8" easy bolt on no probs or do you need camber bolts to make it work?

its doable with 215,4517 tyres and camber bolts

Cheers M444GY sorry I meant 8" x 18" you think that's still achievable?

Jeez, that will destroy the ride and upset the handling.

you think an extra .5 of an inch an some slight camber over what I have now will make things that bad?

With 18's? Yep.

I wouldn't want to put more than 7.5" on a classic without some serious modifications to the geometry.

I've had 215/45/17 on my classic and scuffed the arches with people in the back.

Currently i'm running 7.5 X 18 without rolled arches, i think i'll be able to get 8 X 18 on with either the same ET of 48 or with ET 45 if not ET 48.

Won't be achievable with OEM shocks and springs thought i don't believe and you won't be able to slam it if it works, 25mm lower should be fine with a good stiff set up, 25mm is all you need before you ruin the geometry angles though.

A Whiteline BSK may allow you to lower the car more but i think it would rub.

I plan on getting 8 X 18 eventually, but my car is my track car project, on the road i'm not a huge fan of the hard ride the suspension, bushes, wheels and tyres make, damagings my allows is my biggest issue though.

Thanks
