bigvr6 0 Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Thinking of going from a 40mm drop to 60mm, ive got asa ar1's 17x8 the do rub slighty on full lock and the back rubs with people in there, how do i get around it could i just have the arches cut back slightly or would they need rolling? Any help would be much appreciated guys. Link to post Share on other sites
Focker-out 0 Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Depends on your offsets mate, but DO NOT CUT the rear arches, roll them if need be, but by the sounds of it you are gonna have a few problems Link to post Share on other sites
crish72 0 Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I reckon 8" would catch, mine are 7.5" and just clear the arches.But as mentioned, it'll depend on your offset.Chris Link to post Share on other sites
bigvr6 0 Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Thats what i was thinking, might have to have them flared out to take the width of the tyre probs the safest bet Link to post Share on other sites
Focker-out 0 Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Either that or fit 195/40 17 tyres Link to post Share on other sites
bigvr6 0 Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 How could you put a tyre that small on a 17x 8 rim? Link to post Share on other sites
Focker-out 0 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 You can yeah although they will look stretched, if i didny get 205s aith my 8" Porsche wheels i was gonna fit 195/40s Link to post Share on other sites
Mot 0 Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 deffo dont trim the rear arches, get them rolled by someone that knows what they're doing (otherwise you risk cracking the paint) theyre double skinned so with cutting you'll run into problems! im running 205's on my AR1s and before i had the arches done the rears were ripping my tyres to shreds!i dont no rub on the front at all though :s Link to post Share on other sites
