mantasrme Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Yep that looks bloody brilliant [][8D] Couple for questions for you, if you would be so kind. What offset are the wheels you're running? and what spacers (i think i see some in one pic) Would love to build my rally project with arches but getting wheels/ tyres to make them look right will be the problem. Whereas unarched i have loads, and loads, and loads [] http://www.mantasport.co.uk OMOC no:3325 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spewy555 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Hi, The wheels are ET35 which is the original 400 gravel offset, however as you probably know cars have got a lot wider in track since the Grp B/4 days. I need to keep my car in the ruts that the WRC cars make as we run just behind them normally and that means I have to run spacers of between 5mm - 20mm. This depends again on tryes and conditions! The ones in the picture are on 20mm but even this leaves a bit of wheel inset to the arch. I don`t really care about the wheels sticking right into the arch, but unless you are building a gravel spec car you might have to do something about it! However I do know that my tarmac whels are ET23 front and ET15 rear! Now they do the buisness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
