One thing I really hate!

[S800VXR]

is the limited size within the rear arches on the monaro! If ever there was a car crying out for a fat wheeled rear the Ro is it!

Keep toying with just buying some 19"x12" rims and making them fit...? Probably BBS CHR's in matt black.

As such.... anyone know of a decent custom bodyshop (hampshire/South coast way) that I could have a word with about flaring the rear arches to make some fit?

[S800VXR]

Saw my car for the first time yesterday - hence the renewed interest in it!

[baptist]

I agree, the weedy 245's really let it down.

[sneakygloworm]

Must admit, phat tyres on Harryoz's car look bloody EVIL!!!! Good traction also, i believe.

[after_shock]

Im sure a few bodyshops will take on the challenge!

very happy with mine now 19x 9.5 with 285 tyres
but i only have 500rwhp not 600

bet it will look good

I have an arch rolling tool to fold the lip up. But as for flaring, it'll be an absolute mission due to the double strenght of body shell. (double skin) I done my nova saloon and accidently flared them but then it did have a pair of new rear quarters fitted and the nova metal is shonky thin anyway.

couldn't agree more Roger. I really want to go the whole hog and fit 335s to mine and flare the arches as you suggest. Trouble is, who would you trust to cut your car?

How wide can you go once tubbed?

The Hal Design Monaro has 19 x 10 (265/40/19) on the front and 19 x 13 (345/35/19) on the rear!!!! Wheels are Simmons FR19'S. Rear guards were widened by just over 100mm, and new inner arches had to be made. Have a look on the Waddington Street Rod & Restoration Centre web site -the best looking monaro ever?

Thats a little to much, thinking about 40mmm extra although Im not sure if it would look better with Harry type extensions (but thicker) or a smooth flare which would involve more bodywork....

You gotta go in as well as out otherwise it'll just look too Carlos Fandango

Just found the max size tyre that will fit in mine without tubbing inboard. Now running 305/30 19 in the rear....
