New Wheels Don't Fill The Arches, Help!

[Guest]

HI i just put my new wheel on my car got 75mm spacers and they still dont seem to fill the arch as much as i would like , have a look at the pics and let me no what u think and can i get bigger spacers than this

I think the rears look OK. If you wanted to fill the arch more, you'd need bigger rims, and / or drop the suspension a fair bit - which will mess up your handling I reckon, and mean you hit speed bumps etc. more. (or thicker profile tyres might do it?)

The front looks more odd to me. Do those look like Turbo wings on the front?

Do those look like Turbo wings on the front?

And on the back - looks like a widebody conversion to me.

Just get some Fuchs on it!!

Looks ok to me, unless you are going for the Carlos Fandango look (remember that advert ?) of the Golf GTi brigade.

Yeh. Not sure about doing things like that to an old car. It's a bit like your granny wearing a ra-ra skirt. (Remember those?!!)

Hi what year is your car mine is a 1977 with turbo body conversion, i have 85mm rear spacers and 60mm front. i have a spare pair of 5mm spacers which will go over the top of your 75mm if interested?

Can email me also at wblackw9@ford.com if you want pics of the car its the one shown on my reply only finished it last week! So if you need any info on conversions i can help as i done it all myself.
