10 inch wide wheels?

[ccciiiiinnnnnnddddyyyy]

does anyone no if you could fit 10inch wide wheels on the back of a flat arch and them still be legal obviously with a fair bit of trye stretch??

[MrHoustonp]

Why would you want to lol

I've read somewhere that the tyres are not meant to come out past the body of the car

Yeah its a MOT failure.

[ccciiiiinnnnnnddddyyyy]

yer the actual tread cant be sticking out the car but the trye walls are fine so with a fair bit stretch it might be alrite but im not sure 10 inches mite be a little bit to big wot does anyone think?

[TU-Tuning]

OTT mate imo, 9j looks just right

[VTEC-Saxo]

lmfao you would need like a 4 inch stretch

yer i no what u mean but the wheels im looking at dont come in 9j it either 8 or 10 and really i want them staggered so its either have them 8 all round or have them staggered but stupidly wide on the back what do u reackon is best??

[AlexBp]

a 10 pysically wont fit on a vtr let alone a flat arch man
youd struggle to fit a 9 on the back tbh

and look how far from the back edget the tread is

you will end up with tread exposed on the tyre
you would need such a narrow tyre it just would end up unsafe

[ccciiiiinnnnnnddddyyyy]

yer true but it does look fucking cool lol so really im just gonna ave 2 go for 8's all round

[VTEC-Saxo]

leave it to the VW boys

[Scribbles]

However pimp it would be I think you'd need to do a lot of work to get them fit in the arches.

[AlexBp]

yea man
even at 8s the flat of the arch will be close
i had 7j on mine and was catching all over the place (they were 16 and i was down 50mm)

so im assuming your looking at euro and that means stance
tbh with a flat arch the biggest i would say is useable is a 14x8j
and thats lowered about 70ish itud start to catch

yer i no wot u mean i got 205 alloys on at the moment and they have 195 50 15's on them and it rubs all the time but the wheels im looking at are 13's so on 13's with stretch tyres i shud get away with them being 8j

[VTEC-Saxo]

can somone change this guys Like Name, its well anoying how far it makes his info bit on the left stick out

[Pricklep]

Lol ^ get over it.

[blackvtrt]

As said u wont get 10's under the rear of a vtr/s, and 9's u have to get the offset bang on and a stretch. 10's even with a 195 tyre on still wouldn't fit without abit of work on the arches I dont think! ud prob need 185's then ur just getting stupid! 8's can still fill the arches of a vtr/s so can deffo on a flat arch, Im having to play with my offset to get mine under which are 8's!

And just so u all know tyre stretching doesnt make the car legal u still run them at ur own risk! Ye it will pass an MOT due to not showing tread from above but if MR PO PO deciedes ur vechicle is dangerous/ posses a hazard then u can still get fined, points on ur license etc!

STILL trying to find the thread of the german guy who euro'd a flatarch, gave it a full lether re-trim, fitted schmit wheels, last I read he was putting in a vts engine, was lush!

If u do go down the euro route, id put vt side skirts, front, rear, bumper on or the cliche kit, but would leave the arches, remove the door bump strips and smooth holes, roll the front arches, and roll/pull/flare the rears would look awesome and totally different!

EDIT: Im too good to u, glad i posted in the thread when I saw it, been looking for it for month, if i had a flatarche this would be my inspiration, one of the nicest interiors I have seen in a saxo, the steering wheel is the sex, look at the detail in the vents and switches
