Guest Rsand85 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Was wanting to know what size spacers anybody with the veilside arches have gone for?cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 The size of spacer required would depend on what size wheels you had, width and offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 There are also at least 2 different sizes of overfender Mine came from Ibrar(Speedwells) and I used 25mm spacers all round, but the rears could do with being more for my liking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Sounds to me like the best way would be to fit the overfenders then fit a set of known wheels (width + offset) and do some measuring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notts_TT Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I have the wider of the arches and I'm using 50mm hubcentrics on rear, non on front... I'm on 9.5 " rears, forget offset .? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) The only way to do this correctly is to take your current tire spec, wheel size, plus the size of the arch extensions (i.e. the outward displacement distance in mm's from the original body panel location) and then work it all out? What's the displacement measurement of the arches - let's start there? EDIT: Why not throw in your current wheel dimensions and tire sizes too?

heckler Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Sounds to me like the best way would be to fit the overfenders then fit a set of known wheels (width + offset) and do some measuring I just guessed when I did mine, ended up with 25mm spacer each side...

d-_-b Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 As others have said, get arches, then measure is easiest method. Place up arch against car, measure out from outside wall of the tyre to inside of the veilside arch - thats how big your spacer would need to be with your current rims.

Guest Rsand85 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Sorry should have really said its 19" mania vortex wheels cant remember the offsets. I was just being lazy really thought somebody mite have known without me having to dig the wheels out of the spare room!.Judging by eye i would say fronts need nothing to very little the rears are a bit scary tho without a measurement would say 100mm would be a good start!Will get the wheels on at weekend to see tho.i didn't know there were different width arches cheers for the help though.

Yep, good idea. Get the wheels on and lets all have a look at the wheel alignement with the arches. Regarding your 100mm comment, I don't think you will be pushing over the 50mm spacer requirement in all honesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Sounds like you need new wheels rather than spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
