So now that the bodykit is looking secure and will soon be here.... time to think about the wheels, width, offset and spacers etc..
Pukkasilvia, would you mind sharing specs on your wheels because they are the perfect look for these boxy hatchbacks... they look like minilights.. but I'd like to see the specs and prices if you have them.....

We are hoping to use 16x7 rims at the moment, as we have a shed load of part worn A032's street legal race tyres... 205/50-16 currently considering volvo s40 BBS Crater wheels, as they are plentiful and strong enough for some drifting/accidental kerbing abuse... but the offset at ET43 is pretty shallow and will need something like a 50mm spacer to get the wheel out in these GP arches which look about as wide as yours...
I am thinking about a ET25 offset and maybe a narrower spacer... although we can fine tune it later.... with perhaps a fixed (bolted on and studded)spacer at 30mm and have 8 10mm flat spacers laser cut to use to fine tune the front and rear track width, wondering if maybe we can fine tune the balance of the car by altering track width in a similar way to how you set up a gokart... might be cheaper than buying fully adjustable proflex shocks, and allow us to keep the billies we have on there now!

Thoughts...??

Mike.

Sweet Chester..

Hopefully one of those kits is mine, and I have been talking to jahn-petter in norway about paying for his kit and collecting that at the same time next wednesday. Looks like they stack nicely, so getting two complete sets in your V50 should not be a problem.
Any close up pictures of how the fuel filler cover attaches? Do we need to fabricate some new hinges, or does the new one attach to the existing cover??
Also interesting to know how much further out the rear wheel arches are from the standard ones, as we have been taking measurements to have wheel spacers made to get the right look on the car.
If anyone is interested, I'll post the dimensions, drawings and cad models, as well as pictures, or once I have them made I can get some prices for anyone else who wants to buy spacers to use with standard offset wheels and the gp widebody kit.

Nice work Chester,

Catch you later..

Mike.

Those 3 sets are reserved. And one from the next delivery.

These are the closups of the fuel tank.





Im afraid u will have to fabricate new hinges for the fuel cover.

The rear wheel arches widens about 5 cm but its har to tel because original fender is not flat and it have a smal flare about 1 cm.
