You say that you needed 25mm spacers on the rear to fill the arches but what width/offsets are your wheels?

New seats in!
Next on the list are Coilovers, carbon front splitter and eventually new wider wheels!

Hi, thanks mate!
Thats a difficult one. As you can see from my thread i had my rear arches cut down so are not quite as wide as yours.
I think to get 9inch fronts on you will need some rather large spacers and a big stretch on the tyres. The offset really isnt right you want more like an ET25 and no spacer. You would need a 17mm spacer just to clear the suspension but that will put the face of the wheel WAY out!
The rear you want more like an ET10 or you will need a 25mm spacer.
I actually have a set of nearly new 25mm spacers for sale
Hope this helps
Re: Scotty's on going project. End of the road for me, but the story continues!
Hi.
Thanks for advice mate , I'm still not sure what kind of spacers to use ,but just in case how much you want for your spacers and what kind I mean SCC , EIBACH , H&R etc...

Hey, yea sorry. As far as I can work out to get the front wheels to clear your suspension they will stick way to far out.
My spacers are H&R and are £100 for the set.

Re: Scotty's on going project. End of the road for me, but the story continues!
Thanks alot
Yea i think they were a really good choice and suit the car so well!
The wheels are XXR 521 (BBS LM replicas) 8.5x18, 245/35/18 and 10x18, 275/35/18
The OZ's were lovely wheels but these suit the look of my car better. The OZ's will be continuing their life on a toyota supra from now on!
