Viento, just a thought
darrens - 5/4/06 at 07:40 PM

As there is allot of confusion over what/which wheels to get and the sizes for the viento wouldn't it have been better for Luego to widen the track of the viento and stick to standard wheel offsets, therefore making the wheel purchase easier and FAR FAR cheaper.

The above would obviously require driveshafts to be extended, but surely this is far easier and cheaper work than having to fork out huge amounts of money for non-standard wheel arrangements.

Just and thought

quite possibly you are right - but that would take all the fun out of it !!!!!
mention it to grant, see what he says, too late for us though!

Why widen the track any more?... Just get Luego to make narrower Rear Mudguards / Wings as an option. Then they will fit the std wheels (ET38)

i asked grant about that, he suggested the wider arches balanced out the look of the car
can't disagree, i bought one

I can see the point... I have sorted mine, but it was worth a thought. However, it appears they have already crossed that bridge

not seen the viento recently

I thought the overall track of the viento was wider both at the front at rear anyway and the reason for the wheel offsets on the rear is because the sierra driveshafts are kept as original and the wheel offset brings the rear inline with the front.

as I say just a thought....
