Default New wings, wheel problem

Hi guys

Since fitting the prodrive wings to my 2002 wagon my wheels now look really lost and sit too far into the wheel well, is there any way to bring them back out

have looked at spacers but i keep getting told to stay away from them, so how else do i do it ?

cheers

Im running the prodrive P7 wheels at the moment and know they wont accomodate the brembo's so they must have a small offset

What offset would sort this ?

As above you will need have wider wheels,we have run similar to PPF7 wheels and not sure,wheels looks little bit lost in front arches as you are said

Due this we running Rota 9.5JX18 ET38 or DRAG DR31 9JX17" which nicely accommodate wheels and on plus side wagon looks in our eyes awesome

You will need to run low offset,but when you want to run low offset,you will need to have rolled arches and preferably coilovers and camber bolts will be just good/recommended


Really depends if you not tracking yours wagon(not doing track days or not doing drag racing),then you can use hubcentric spacers,if yes then still away from spacers,spacers can kill yours wheel bearings
