I just wondered, I have been looking at these hub spacers for my ST170 and now wonder if I should go the whole hog.

Basically I want to lower the car a little, and widen the look, one option is to get a RS Focus early next year, but the other is to fit different suspension parts to mine and some wider arches. I have seen the Puma wrc which looks very nice, but would require a complete rebuild ?.

Given the shape of the arches on the Focus I don't think they can be rolled out a little ? has anyone tried it ? also has anyone tried fitting those black plastic wheel arch extenders you seen so much on retro Japanese cars.

The thing is I want to mess around with it, but I want to do it right first time off, unlike many of my past modified cars where I end up buying stuff twice over.

Any input would be appreciated

 

hub spacers would be the best for the rear as the hub is spaced out not just the wheel.front would need wheel spacer. iv rolled the lips back on my track focus on the front only so far.the arch liner starts flapping though as its got no support when the lip is rolled. as for arch extentions nevsrevs has done his but to do it you can never go back to standard as you would have to chop the arches away or cut and bend.well you could go back to standard but the repair bill would right the car off. dont lower more than 25mm either has it will mess up the front lower arm angle and ruin handling.

 

Thanks Steve, you know your ST170s
