Reverse Engineering

[S800VXR]

Brought these today, 345/30 19. Just gotta work out what to cut and hammer to squeeze them in!

[Tattooboy]

A Lot !!!!

Good luck

[preciousmetal]

They look like they are off a red plastic GM 2Dr coupe not a million miles away. Goodluck

[Pete G H]

Just jack the back axle & put a red light on it

I think I would have done some measuring in-board first, to see how much room you have - though finding wheels with a big enough offset will be a hard task.

Bloody hell they are massive

[MadMaxHSV]

Tubbing, control arm modification/suspension relocation likely. If they can get 315's on a Monaro this should be feasible.
Good luck though, wider wheels are on my hit list this winter.

Reminds me of the Carlos Fandango ad'.........wide wheels on the 105E Anglia???. (ARAF will, he's an old fart)

Anyway, if you cant get them on, Stiggy will have them off you.

Andy Robinson is just up the road from me so will be having a chat with him when we get back from holiday next month. Ideally I'd like to keep it on IRS but will see what he says as this is firstly for visual impact and secondly for straightlining.

I will strip the whole back end out and anything else I need to do to allow him to fabricate what's needed. Then it's back to MF for the Tweeks I need in the engine department.

Love driving it but getting seriously itchy feet to play modding again so this should suffice.

Stop being boring, visualise what's wanted and just make it happen!

It's only 70mm wider than stock where's your ambition

You drive a ford"... Second only to Stig in his BMW!

Slightly taller sidewall than a std 275/35 too (103.5mm vs 96.25mm). Will increase your gearing just over 2%. (theoretically)

What wheels are you planning to mount them on?

I think you've been out in the sun too long, so a sun hat is wanted.

Working on the basis that they are staying, you might just get them in, do you know the current wheel widths, their offset, and what size spacer you have on the rear?

20s (9.5") currently with 285's and 15mm spacers, lots of room inboard but not enought without some disc cutting. Will do a slight flare on the outside as well since the rear arches don't match the fronts very well.

The rear flare could get complicated, as you have a door on part of the wheel arch.

Bloody Hell Roger your going to have to go along these lines..... RETRO

This is a nice build, 335s on a Monaro
