    If you really want the wheels reversed, I'm sure you could get somebody to make you up some wider arches by giving them the current ones as a guide.

    Are you going to bring the front wheels out as much or leave it staggered since if you go reversing the fronts you'll probably have big KPI issues.

    Will look pretty cool if the rears were reversed and arches sorted though!


    Going to need a bloody wide trailer with a ass that wide too!!!

    Ye was keepn fronts the same . Would it affect the driving of the car with the rear being so wide . Wouldn't be a mad issue to modify the arches

    First off, stretch some tyres on! Also play around with the centres from the front on the rear dishes. They should be different!

    Wider stance will give more grip, but on narrow wheels like them you're not going to have much grip anyways with decent power!

    Don't know really... I know having the front wider will usually make the car easier to turn in and change direction while the rear being a lot wider will do the opposite and cause a slight tendency to understeer but the more power you have, you can overcome that of course

    Just make your front wishbones as wide as possible I suppose and fit enough spacers to fill the arches you have without compromising your KPI too much.


    wider rear will probably help you with grip too and the 911 GT cars don't seem to do too badly with the rear track much wider than the front even if not actually drift cars
