So now I expect the new rear 11" hollow spoke turbo twisties to come in tomorrow.
Then I will figure the spacer width required. Then I worry about what I thought I heard about crazy bearing wear rates if I go too spaced out. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif) I think I want to use my Sheridan flares but......... If I use them I will need to space the wheels a substantial amount. I'm guessing >3"... Aren't all the guys using Sheridan flares either spacing out their fat rubber or using huge positive offset wheels? I'm looking for feedback from people who've actually seen or done this before. Thanks! Roger |

Hi Roger,
I don't have a build trhread but probably should have one. I went out to the garage and measure my flairs for you. The measurement from the rear flair (outside of bodywork) to the inner wheel well structure...where you might weld in a chassis stiffening kit) is 13". I held the measuring tape horzontally from the outer wheel lip to the inner fender. I have less than 1/2" clearance on either side of my 18x10 hollow spokes (running 285/30/ZR18). Your pic looks like a stndard body to me. It isn't overly square & extra extra wide. Take the measurement and tell us all what you came up with??? I'll be interested to see if your 11" wide wheels & tires will fit comfortably. I hoope they do...so I will have a reason to upgrade (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Regards, Bill OOPS! I thought I lost the 1st post...So i posted again (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) Attached image(s) ![]() |
