With WRC front wings 10.5 /11" are just possible , its the rears you will struggle with , im upto 11.5" so far but cant quite squeeze 12" in because of the Y link positions ....
does look a bit like a rollerskate tho , lol.

This is what has to be done
The way we did on Martins car was slice the inner arch and then the outer arch got pushed out carefully and then a filler strip was welded in. This could be done without damaging the outer paintwork.
Will see when l get car and wheels to the body shop

Dave,
Just before I had kids I had a Genuine RS2000 Mk 2 X Pack with a
Janspeed turbo conversion. (250 bhp was fast back then LOL)
I got married, had kids then had to sell it. (My wife didnt work - lazy bint)
Absolutely gutted me, the guy who bought it, wrote it off 3 days later

how do you work out rolling diameters of wheels, taking into account different wheel widths?
