    Default info on overfenders and wings.

    hi everybody

    im currently running a 17" 8.5j rim on the back of the 180 cant think of the offset right now.
    im using a 4mm spacer which brings the 235/45/17 tire to the arch which have not been rolled...

    now im not so good with offsets and all that so wound anyone be able to tell me if i need a 50mm or 70mm overfender and what size wings i need for my eurolines

    front 17x8.5+5
    rear 17x9.5+5

    thanks in advance.
    Pa.

    ir your wheel offset is +5 and you spacer is 4mm , it would give you an offset of +1.

    tese 2 cars have the exact same wheel size and offset as you would be running and they only have rolled arches and a bit of stretch.







    if the offset info you have given is correct, you wheels would be lost under 50mm arches

    aahhh! that has to be a much lower offset then! but a 50mm arch would be perfect then!

    are you sure they are +5??
