lol

my kit/arch is still not trimmed yet and thats on 245's. I'll get the hammer and chisel out over the winter and see if i can get some wider rubber on (265's )

 

They're 245's? How wide are your rims then as my 9j rears fit 245's perfectly?

 

9J tyre is on a 35 profile though

 

tbh right after i bought my four 40's i saw 35's...was gutted Once they are worn out i'll replace with the lower profile me thinks

 

put it this way..........i run a 9 inch rear on an ET24 and the kit/arch has not been altered yet!!

i would have had no chance on a 40 profile.

They do catch (only when fully laden) but still not too bad considering the width/offset

 

tbh even with 35 profile my wheels would still rub being et15. The thing with the 40 profile is it kinda matches the profile of the old btcc cars...altho it does make the rims look like 16's

 

i've got 245-35 on my 8x17 et15 rears and it does catch but only when laden or when booting it and the shocks are set soft..

 

I'll have to look into it next time tyre's are due then

 

Them piccs posted of mine are the old CXN wheels that comp sent wrong

These are the ones fitted now









No trimming of the arches at all

 

What widths,offsets and tyres are you running now paul?
