I am thinking about slightly flaring the rear arches. I do not particularly want to change my wheels, but they probably will look undersized when done. Is adding spacers dangerous and does it effect handling plese?

 

Thanks.

no and no:D

It can be and yes.

 

Make sure you choose the correct spacers. There are universal type spacers, hubcentric spacers and bolt-on hubcentric spacers. The first ones can be dangerous. OK if just a thin one, but you really want bolt-on hubcentric spacers. Application specific and very strong. They are what I run.

 

Make sure your fronts don't sit too far inward as flaring out just the rears will give it a bit of a goofy look.

 

It can sometimes effect the handling, usually only on the fronts. Tram-lining can sometimes be exaggerated. But generally not that much as most people with spacers have 8.5 - 9" front wheels anyway which do far more to the effect of tram-ling than widening the front track.

I was also looking into this as my wheels are too big.

 

Someone suggested http://www.archenemy.co.uk/ to flare the arches, they are very reasonably priced and was very helpful, that reminds me i need to get back to him.

Thanks everyone for advice. I think the flared arches will be no more than a couple of inches or so as I do want it to fit im my garage.lol
