Rear Wings !!!!!!!

Hey up Guys,Does anyone know the width of the rear wings of any of the manufacturers.Im lookig for some at least 10.5 inches wide to cover the BF Goodrich tyres Im using.
Just had a sudden thought I'll need that width for the fronts as well, Derrrrrrrrrrrr
Have Lolocost gone tits up, cant seem to get thier website to come up ???
Cheers,
Bob

Dax use very wide arches to cover their Carlos Fandango Super Wide wheels. You will also need to check the offset of the wheel you are going to use to fined how far they stick out from the body.

Ive got 10.5 inches from the body to the outside of the tread so I figure 11 inch should do it comfortably allowing for any hassle with SVA.

I dont think half and inch is enough, most rear arches turn in towards the body of the car if you view them from the underside.

on mine the turn in is more than half an inch. sorry.

I was torched when I found that my 10.5" eBay fenders turn in about 5/8", because I needed all that width for 205 tires (minimum for my wheels).

Current plan is to cut the edge of the fender off and glass a new one on, using a negative mold.

Why is it that just when you have taken the plunge you always discover something better/cheaper or worse BOTH?

Make your own - you'll get them with the width/turn under etc and quality you want, and they'll cost you about £20 the pair
