Can you not get some machined of the matching face of the wheel? Bring the ET down(up)
If dont know what that plate is there on the beam, can you not just shave it down?
No chance of machining the back of the wheels, bolts are well deep inside
I think I'm going to do the mods on the beam tho
Edd i know you wish to keep the arches standard etc, but i think it's the most simple and easy way to do it without messing with the beam.

I'd shave the plates on the beam down, i wouldn't remove them.
Yeah I know what your saying, I hav a spare beam to try it on .....Quote:

I know all this fiddling sounds a bit silly for a set of wheels but I get bored seeing the same rims on Nova's and like to different.
ATM I'm thinking of the beam mod for the rear and r/j'd bottom arms and adjustable top mounts, but not sure lol
do you have a spare beam that could be used? rather than modding your good one id try it on another one to see if it worked out the way you wanted, imo its worth doing to make the wheels fit.
Pfft i've done things to run different rims. Its the best way. Having the norm blows goats.
Could you get the rims machined to 42 offset, ie removing 9mm of material from the hub section of the rim, just like the factory would have done.
I looked at the wheels with Edd, I dont reckon there is enough meat on them to remove anything from the rear face tbh. 1 or 2mm tops.
Modding a beam is easy enough, but the fr will need some headscratching. Luckily I have some RJ'd TCA's if he wants to go down that route.
No way would I grind the arches on a brand new shell, sacriledge!
