The Alloy Wheel Nightmare!!!!!!!!

[Bournemouth James 0]

Heres a picture or a corrado with its arches rolled out and smoothed over:

I've gone for an 8" wheel instead as the work involved to make 9" fit would change the look of the arches which is something I don't want to do.

 

Having Coilovers is making it harder as well due to the spring hitting the wheel.

fitting coilovers makes fitting a whole load easier ... look at one compared to a std rear shock /spring assy and look how thick a std set up it it would rub alot more...

[C. Will Corrado G60 2 0]

Not true...

 

Yes the spring set up is smaller on coilovers but springs on the std set up do not come low enough to touch the wheel so only leaving the strut.

 

Result lots more space...

ok i suppose it depends on how low you are running the car ... all i can say is that i have fitted and run for over a yr 9-16"s and they have never come anywahere near to touching my koni coilovers ...

i guess it all comes down to the offset again though ehh :D

yer, I want the tyres in the arches nice and low.

 

It's been the usual learning curve you get with these things. There always a been of tweeking need here and there.

 

What car you got?

[W3RKD 0]

this is it when the grill didnt fit properly

Nice motor...

 

Is the engine std or have you played around with it?

 

Plus why move the number plate down and leave a gap? Are you planning some thing?
