Default Re: wheels ?

definately be flaring guards for wheels like that. remember standard wheels are lucky to be 5.5'' wide

I think you can get 8" wheels under the bubble arches - mind you would need to be engineered in Vic due to amount of rim and track width increases (loading on wheel bearings etc), other states have similar restrictions

hi all

well from know how and mistakes in life. with wheels it all depends of the ofset and how much room you have to play with ,
you will have no problems putting 7 inch on the rear of the esky if you had the right ofset you could even put 7 inch on the front . but to be safe then ever with the men in blue go 6 inch at the front and 7s at the rear unless you flarr them out... and if you have rims like that u realy need to flarr them . gezzzz 9 inch that would look so so dam tuff on the esky on the rear...
cheers mate good luck
