Kim1978 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Thanks alot fella, I loved it, and loved every minute of building it. Reason for sale was simple, I needed the money for a house deposit and felt it was time for someone else to enjoy it and take it a step further. The wheels were widened to 11.5" on the rear from 8" and the original 9.5" rears went to the front. I had a pair of 50mm wheel adapters made to keep the wheel from the inner arch also. Kay obviously didn't like them . Here's a pic of the wheels when they were just widened and a pic from the rear. The tyres were 315-35-17 and the exhaust was a veilside. http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/baileyjdm/007.jpg http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/baileyjdm/015.jpg What do you mean by that? Would the tires have rubbed without the 50mm spacers? 50mm seems to be a lot. I would like widen my stock 17s as well. Kay, are you looking to sell the stock wheels?

Just get two pairs of rears, bailey widened his fronts, if you widen a rear wheel you would only need a 25mm spacer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Just get two pairs of rears, bailey widened his fronts, if you widen a rear wheel you would only need a 25mm spacer. What he said, if I did it again I would do this and you would only need a 2" band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
