It pains me to be posting a thread in the styling section, but you guys know your shit, and I dont, so I need your help.

I had a play around with spacers and the wheels I have to try replicate the wheel fitment I am going to have when my new wheels turn up from Japan. My new wheel specs are 18x10, et minus 6.

After messing about about I basically ended up with 18x9.5j, et minus 16 on the back which has left me with about two inches of poke. Will a good flare and a lot of stretch pull back the two inches?? I don't really want to run too much stretch because the car will be driven quite hard on track etc.

And yes I need the grass cut.

9.5J -16 doesn't equal 10J -6?

Edit: Theres fuck all in it though, have you got camber arms?

It's not far off though, I think. See, I told you I'm shit at this.

Yeah I was looking for the Soarer alright

I dunno Greg, stiffen the rear shocks and slam it and it'll camber in somewhat

Ya, camber arms are a luxury I won't be getting. Maybe somebody could make us up a set in Ireland??

How much flare is possible on an arch though? I don't want to get Jun style arches really.

your arches look a little more tricky to do twards the mark 2's , jus the way the bumper meets the body an that like...

could be made alright i suppose , jus make the standard arm adjustable..
fuck it though camber can be a cunt , youl be down to the wire on tyres in no time an full grip left on the outside..

10J -6 equal 9.5J -12
It'll be sticking out 4mm less than you have now Greg.
wheel offset calculator for future reference

Get on to famous jh about what's possible with flaring the arches.
