Stratty Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I recently had some overfenders made and am still considering whether or not to fit them. Do you know what rear wheels I would need to fill the arches properly? Thanks Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx1lew Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Im guessing you are using 9.5 inch rear's so a extra inch at least 10.5 or bigger as they look really wide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabs Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I have 10" wheels and some spacers that brings the wheels just a little too short of the arch, but suspect with the right offset of wheel you'll have no problems. EDIT: Just seen you're selling the overfenders. You can ignore the above now then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Id not use spacers, speak with Ibrar, he is about the only wheel guy that knows his stuff with getting the correct offset wheels for overfenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie this car Here, these are the same as what you had on your car right? they seem to fill the arches quite well. If they are the same (12x19 & 9x19 Trafficstar RTS with machine polished centers) where did you get them from??? steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve spedd Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 quick one jamie, do you have to cut the arch on the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Yes, about 1.5" has to come off and weld the gap up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve spedd Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 cheers, i thought some would have to come off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I of course didn't choose to have spacers - this all came on the car when I bought it - I actually didn't know it had spacers until the wheels were removed a couple of weeks after owning it. I plan to change this (at some point) but it will mean changing my wheels which I just don't have the budget for at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
