Help need wider wheels
ok, now that I've been ABW'd I need some wide wheels to fill the extra 40mm that I have on each side. Now with the wheels I have at the moment I'm runnning a 20mm spacer kit. However this doesn't fill the arch at all.
Can someone help me out with the ET I need to achieve as small a gap as possible from tyre to arch.
thanks

Speak to M444GY, he getting the same wide arch extentions from ABW on his car.
He also the owner of Rusilip tyre and supplys and fits Rotas etc on scoobs with funky offsets and sizes and has fair amount of experience on what you need.

Need to know the spec of you current wheels to say for sure, but guessing at 7.5j and et42 (still using the spacer):
You'd need et2 to sit them 40mm further out.
Or et20 ish if you went for 8.5j wide.
Or like M444GY says, 9.5j with around et27
(I think, I've not worked this stuff out for a while so I could be wrong ;])

None, I repeat none, of the 'off the shelf' wheels will fit your arches properly.
You will either have to run apacers, or get some specifically made up from the likes of Team Dynamics, Compomotive, Work Wheels etc etc...
Off the top of my head, 9.5x18 et20 should be somewhere near...

thanks I put it on cos I feel the scoop and vents takes the attention away from the arches, plus I run a fmic so not really needed.
Thanks mate I know it's gonna be hard to find the wheels I want for the car. I would love to keep my wheels but they are far to skinny.
