One for REDA9X...The Gough/Barry Sheales car runs Challengers all round...Do you know him?..Can we find out if he had any dramas on the fronts?..If so how did he get around it?

Sams spacerThis is what I have done with mine, I know it looks like a ridiculous size spacer, but as you can see, it has been secured using the studs with a lock nut on each one, that way the studs are supported

I just realised Sams spacer is about 2 inches...so pushes his front wheels out that far..if that is the case..15 x 10 should be close to being OK.
See here is the problem if you go Sams way..maximum out for the rim..nearly/probably touching the outer guard...these are 15 x 8...now add in 15 x 10..See my problem?..They are through the guards.

15 x 8 105mm backspace...95mm outer lip.
15 x 10 113mm bacspace....142mm outer lip.
These the 2 inches I need.

If you look at that Gough car up there ^^^ you will see they are struggling to get the 10s under the front...I think it is going to be a drama...will be nothing but a pain in the arse with rubbing..we will see...the fronts below will need 35mm added to the outside if they are 10s...thats level with the out side of the flares...The backs will just fit..

The rears below
Looks HORN!!

Yep...In the second pic I stood a straight edge against the outside of the flare...thats where the outer edge of a 10 will be on the front..I reckon we are 8 fronts ...uncut wets...and 10s on the rear with soft compound slicks. In fact on the Gough car...the fronts look a bit weird..like they are too big?..or is it just me?

How much neg camber will you be running with the slicks? That will tip the top of the wheel inside the guard more... although turning may still present some clearance problems..

Now imagine Sams car with an extra 40mm/2 " on the rear bags...That will look the mumble.

Oops!..Meant Peter..Yeah Stuckey says use uncut wets on the 8 fronts..and softs on the rear 10s....makes sense actually..its sprints/hillclimbs and you need heat and stickiness in the tyres from scratch...wouldnt do 5 laps at a sprint though...

I took this photo ages ago, but its relative to this thread. Now keep in mind I have a custom length 9 inch diff. Front and Rears are 15x8 with 225/60/15.

My rear 8s have 2" clearance on the outer edge......fronts look the same ^so if you go the bigger fronts it will push the 10s out level with the outside of the flare...not a good look...See the Gough car back there..^^.

A mate of mine has a pair of these hanging in his shed, but they are a 2 or 3 piece setup. I think they are 15x9 or 15x10 in Ford pattern.
