Rear track width problem!

[Andy White]

Hi everyone,

I recently swopped my swing axle suspension for IRS and fitted 944T brakes to the rear. I am running 17" 7.5J with a 52ET and 215/45 tyres. I now find that these mods have increased the rear track width by an inch either side. Ideally I would like to use my standard width NOS wings but find that the tyres won't fit underneath anymore. There is at least an inch clearance between the tyre and spring plate so I'd like to narrow the rear track if possible.

I have one solution that involves machining the hubs so they sit further in and machining new caliper mounting brackets. This isn't a problem as I won't be needing the cable handbrake mechanism but it is quite extensive work.

Does anyone know of any other solution?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Andy.
