No No No! I think I was lucky, you can't get my bonnet anymore as it's the pre zetec type without the bulge for the carbs.
Maybe thats why it fits properly?

Laptoprob,

What wheels do you have on there? I'm looking for suitable black alloys for my Avon, but am constrained by the 6.5" max. width.

Cheers.

They are 15" BK Racing wheels with a 35mm offset and 195/50/15 R888`s.
Could have done with 38mm but they are ok, just had to file down the lip on one side to prevent the wheel catching.

really?

i have 7" on the front and 8" on the back... 205/45/16 and 245/35/16 respectively...........

admittedly i had to widen the rear arches but they needed reworking anyway because they are different sizes.....

Hmmm i fancied putting wider tyres on the back but have had enough pain already with this build.

Yours already look good, just blast `em with some paint??

Thanks.

I understand that 6.5" is as wide as you can go without extending the rear arches.

surely that depends on the offset...

I ordered my 8" wide compomotives with an offset at ET51. but after a week or so compomotive rang me and said the max they could do on an 8" rim was ET35
When finally fitted my tyres stuck out by 15mm - hence i had to widen my rear arches....
