Rear Arches

[sam919]

Can anyone tell me the width of a rear arch, just away from home for a few weeks and looking to order some wide bad boys.

Thanks

30 cms wide at the top of the arch.

Thanks much appreciated. There's a company on ebay that sell some 12", which in this case might not be wide enough 12"=30cm.

Or speak to mick @redline in caterham he can supply original style wings 1.5" wider enough to cover 10" wheels with 250/570-13 slicks

What was the offset of the 10" wheels you used. I have ordered some from compomotive but could only get -7

I know of a car with 10" wide rears and the Redline supplies wider arches.
The wheels are MB's with 6" inners and 4" outers. This gives an offset of ET 0.
If you're wheels are more inset, then you're likeley to have clearance issues on radius arms etc (but you could use thin spacers).

Origionaly, and now for use in the wet, a 8.5" ET24 wheel fits. With the 10" -7 the backspace is increased and the wheel is further out by 50mm i think. When i get the wheel im going to measure everything to check.Not sure if the redline wide arches will be wide enough, should be if they are being used already!
