O.K your new to this , but unless your having them narrowed ,i.e cut in half machined and then re welded ,how do you propose to machine an 1"off your rims, first off check your steering box, tie rods and try smaller tyre 195x45

Thanx for the reply - will check steering box and tie rods - also going to get some smaller tyres...
I should have said that a guy is going to cut the wheels in half, machine them and then re-weld them...
Cheers for the info.

Little bit of an update with 02, got the side vents cut out going for our carbon versions this time, also changed my mind on the ally 944 a arms, going early 944 steel with our uni ball+coil over set up, got that made and trial fitted with some old Konis for now............
