i measured it all up.....goign off what i have now.....10" could just fit i have 6.5" FWD offset wheels at the moment....and there is a 60mm gap between the wheel and the strut on the back.....and a 40mm gap between the front of the rim and the inner guard (i lipped my rear guards)....which is why ill need such a narrow tyre for such a wide rim....
yeah furys car had 4" rear guards....and 12" rims....and the rim sits about 1-1.5" in from the edge of the guard..... anyway....ill still go at least 8" wide...but back to my original question.....how much does it cost to buy just the rim??? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Simpson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, October 27, 2002 7:58 PM Subject: Re: simmons > Coz 9" rims will mean that you'll have to have your car at stock height to > clear every thing with the right offset. > > George Fury's car had mammoth flares on it, like about 4" wider each side > and the suspension was set up for it. > > If you want to do it thats fine, but i think you'll find it'll handle like a > pig and look pretty average at standard height aswell > > Let us know hoe it goes thou. > > Chris S > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ben C" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Sunday, October 27, 2002 8:17 AM > Subject: Re: simmons > > > > why not have 9" if i can fit them?? > > > > the fury bluebird ran 12" on the back!!! > > > > anyway....no-one has answered my question....any idea on the price of the > rim section?? > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: "Chris Simpson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Date: Sat, 26 Oct 2002 18:15:15 +0800 > > Subject: Re: simmons > > > > 15x7 is plently big enough for any tyre you want to put on the back of a > > datto.
