I am planning on it mate tbh, I am also thinking of expanding foaming the inside of the panels once there fitted and in position to help stiffen them up and give them some extra support.


i have done some calcs and measureing from stock with the 23.8" tyres on 17s 10j rims i will have 2.75" more positive scrub radius than standard, or i will have to run the wheels 2" in and only have 1.75" positive scrub radius.

with the rims/tyres recessed in the arches 2" is gonna look naff i think, so at 1" in from the arch lip gonna have 2.75" scrub radius question is how would it drive ?

assumeing the capri is 0 scrub radius stock i will be pivoting 1.5" in from the inside of the tyre !
having said that it is gonna be running some camber where i lower it 2" so there will be less weight on the outside of the tyre anyways.

it doesn't have to handle like a racing car just look like one but does need to drive ok and be safe if pushing it though.


if I can get 12" wide rims/tyres all round with a -57 offset I will have 125mm 5" wider track width and 1mm less inner clearance that should keep scrub radius acceptable.
but I cant find 12" wide tyres for a 15",16" or 17".
