Its looking that way. There's no way the disc can be moved back any further, its already cosy to the hub.
Not even sure what style to go for. I like the OE ones!

Already got 15" R888s on the standard wheels. I don't want to change size. I don't even really want to change the style of wheel.

Inside of the spoke hits the outside of the caliper. I'm thinking something like a Clio Williams wheel would sort it but they are a different pitch circle. Think they're Speedline of some sort. There's probably choice but its an expense I don't need. Plus I need them in a week.

Its about 20mm out, I would have to grind it down to be a 2 pot
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Same place I called I think. I'll ask him about those on Monday.
Of all of them I'm liking the VLM the best, and they do look like the most accomodating for the calipers.
Just hope we don't need a new trailer.

OK, roll bar needs to come off for the dampers to come out and it's a ball joint. Any ideas?

Unbolt the damper from the hub carrier and then its only 2 or 3 nuts to undo.

The ARB is fastened to the damper shaft.
The other bolts are off.
You are so ungrateful. That's the last time I buy surprise gifts
