Swino Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 No not hard just making sure there in the same place on both sides and no being scared to drill in to wings lol I hate the look of them tho so working on blending them in and making fiberglass ones :) Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 get a ruler out and put it against your existing rim to see how far out you want to go then use this link to see what width / offset you need http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swino Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 You can see how much they stick out without the arches over them it's about an inch an half Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoodedLime Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 XXR 8.75 bwith ET35 may just fit inside your arches, you'd probably need to get them rolled but thats it. I have 8.75 ET20 on mine and they were sticking out probably like on that classic above. I also have 15mm spacers and abw arches so all's fine now :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattiekane Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I hope it's the camera that's give your back wheel the odd angle lol Looks well either way!! 👍👍 Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I have 18x9.5j et38's and they poke out a little bit but not much, like them as they are, would have to put on 20mm spacers if I was to go down the arch extension route which I have considered but then there is no going back...
