Worth trying something like this (looks similar to whatever Colin Blower used on his car above). Might at least give you a starting point.


That's the sort of thing I need.

Funnily enough I'd looked at these some months ago, just not sure they could be persuaded to fit without being able to offer them up against the car, are they about the right amount of extension you'll need Cliffie?

I need about 30mm to be honest unless we go wider spacers and 255 rear tyres which I am reluctant to do without doing the fronts.

I can get some pics to you, I took them to Snetterton though. They are big so will allow you to keep them vertical as well as underfilling the clam area on the rear.....

I have 245 on the rear running some decent camber and I found after spacing the wheels out be 5mm it no longer rubs. Also check your rear handbrake cables as the 9" rims can rub on full compression. Some tie wraps will sort that though thumbsup.
