Wide Arches

[Mike]

How much wider are GRP Nova rear arches either side?

I take it there more then 6.5cm either side yes? As my rear track is going to be a little wider then the standard 1307mm ;)

En-lighten me.

As far as i know wide arches usually get used with a wide track kit, which adds 50mm either side, i'd say they'd definatly be wider than 6.5mm over std !!

its not a wide track kit ill be using :thumb: i only need the rears to be able to take AT LEAST a 1446mm rear track, so i may get away with grinding the lip off the GM arch either side, and lightly pulling the metal work out id imagine :confused:

EDIT: Lmao! 6.5cm hahah not mm, what a prink! lol

Where you measuring the beam from, as i'm sure when i done my 5 stud beam it was a lot wider than that !?!
Its that just the beam itself or inc hubs ?

The measurements are the entire rear vehicle track, so where GM measure that from is beyond me?

Erm, its not the norm rear dics or 5 stud conversion :thumb: its a little more work then that....

Ill figure it out anyway. Thanks chaps.

1446 !!
Just checked with measurments i made when doing mine, mine was 1390, you aint gonna be able to stretch the std arches 25mm !!
Wide arch kit would give clearance, but i'd say you'd need to go wider to fill them.
Can i ask what your planning ?

Well as long as its aolong the lines of ' can we squeezea 4x4 Sapphire back end in here' then you've got my vote. ;)

fabricate your own to your own spec like mine

[mikey14sr]

Track is measured between the centrelines of the wheels, is the measurement you have the distance between the faces of each wheel?
