Just bought the wheels off Peter(Phazed)

Sizes are 17"x 10” rear, 8.5” front.

Pete used to have 235x40 front and 255x40 rear.

Not sure i want to go that big.

What is the correct set up to achieve speedo correct,or tyre wall heights correct visually.

FYI going to powder coat black and polish out the rims and studs

Cheers

Pete did you do any mods to the set up,or did the tyres fit with no issues,seem to think the wheels were made for the Chim setup?

Cheers in advance

How much did you trim off the arches to get the larger tyres on, and how did you do it?

Cheers

Cut out a 15-20mm thick orange segment shape running from thickest at top to nothing down the sides.

I used a small air tool with a very fine circular blade.

I then finished of the cut inner section with a small amount of fibreglass matting and resin.

Touch up with a bit of flat black paint and it looked factory.

The whole lot done in a few hours.
Thanks Pete

Put wheels on car, then realised i had the offset centres back to front on 2 wheels,so had to undo all nuts on 2 wheels and swop overfuriousfurious with this project you have to see the funny side....light at end of tunnel and all thatlaughlaughbangheadbanghead
