Hi guys, i've seen those 10" wheels minispeed do that will fit over 8.4 discs. Now this is all well and good, but it then says you need atleast 3.5" arches to cover them, have they got a mad offset? And will i need longer studs etc? Am linking the idea of these, and lowering the car down a fair bit!

Cheers,

Tomarse

I thought as much, it is very tempting though! Spray em up black to go with my red/black and no chrome paint job...

How quickly would it go through the bearings then? And would i need longer wheel studs?

[Bungle]

how many miles do you do a week and how do you drive ?

[Retro_10s]

yeah you'd need longer wheel studs.

If you don't drive like a tit, then I'd change them... every year, unless they wear out before hand.

also balancing weights on the wheels fowl the callipers, i know someone who has them!! better off just going the 7.5inch disc route in the long run, with original wheels!!

[Retro_10s]

..... aye and then get seom reverse rims and a 3/4 spacer... will look the danglies!

Better start saving then! 7.5 brakes are mega bucks!

or go fester brake set up

Is it fiddly to do?

[Retro_10s]

basically you need to make some brake hose adapters (these can be made by companies), grind a small amount of material off of the fiesta caliper webbing between pots, and drill out the threads of the hole of the caliper.

that is essentially it.
