if I run my 10" wide rims where I want to run them the pivot point will be inside the tyre !
assumeing the car has 1.5" of tyre inside the pivot point all I can do is run a rim in stock inside position and extend out 3" more that will put me at 3.5" positive scrub radius.
cars have run 4" so im working on that's my absolute limit and even then it will be far from ideal but still work just be abit snatchy on rough roads.
so far that will get me 3" out further than the stock rim with what should still be a driveable offset and use the stock bilys.
wether that will be enough to look half respectable remains to be seen....
also ive noticed the front arches on the capri theres a big lip from the top of the arch to the top of the wing.
on the kit there is hardly any, im never going to get the car low enough I don't think so the arches may have to come down lower on the kit to make it look right.
Not much progress get your finger out
for front suspension ya could always use offset top mounts and adjustable TCA's to gain an inch,
but seen as your hacking up a perfectly good capri anyway why not raise and extend out the top mounts ive done it a few times on widetrack rally cars it'll allow ya run better offset wheels or just ring bernie and leepu for some custom spacers
