Default Widening 3 Door front wings

To get 9" wheels on the front of a 3 door you can unpick the wings at the front I believe?
Do you put some kind of spacing in and reweld? Anyone got any photos of one that's been done?
Cheers Rich

Here i got a pic that broadmoor posted a while back
https://passionford.com/forum/restor...stylee-54.html


Did that on my 3door aswell, along with cutting a fair bit of the arch to suit 8x17" et33 wheels running 235-610-R17 slicks (plenty clearance on full lock)
