arches

hi folks new to this site and looking for advise and pics if possible on cutting my arches to fit new tyres insa track specials 285/85x16
any help would be more than welcome

youll need to lift it 1st

+4 lift and for 285/85s you will need to cut most of your arches off adjust your steering stops for the lift you will need camber corrected radius arms, cranked trailing arms, extended brake hoses and wide angle props

oh and you will need to get your speedo re-calibrated when your speedo is reading 60mph you will be doing 73mph

everything done barring the cutting, steering stops and calibrating the speedo it's the cutting im nervous about you don't get many shots at that!!!

my cousin runs 35s on his bobtail even with the arches cut right back(so they matched the profile of the inner arch) they still caught the tyres on full articulation, in the end we did a 2" body lift to stop it munching the rear tyres

bugger!!!! didn't want to lift the body anyone want to buy some wheels and tyres??? will have to rethink this one

i will see if i can find a picture on me cousins disco to show ya what i mean

that would be great G-man

couldn't find a picture must be on my old dead pc, found a you toob vid with it on tho

the one on the right

they look a lot wider than the ones i've got but it does give me a good idea of what is needed i was scared of cutting off to much but looking at that i don't think that is possible cheers G-man

the ones he runs are 35x12.5x15 so they are only about an inch and a quarter wider but they were catching just over 2" in from the outer edge

thats them cut feck was it scarey for the first 30 sec what a lot of fun anyone else wanting theres done might need some eye brows to tidy it up a bit but will wait till i make sure theres no rubbing
