calculator

I've been working on a calculator for spacers and steering. I got the spacer thing worked out. basically a plug and play thing.

I'm still working on the steering thing though. I posted somthing in the suspension forum, hopfully I can get it worked out.

But to the question how much room in can you go from the stock wheel before you rub on the inner fender walls? Right now it just calculates any offset in that direction as rub. So if I could get an actual how far is safe it would be much appreciated.

And is there a way to attach an excel file?

thanks

okay... so someone can tell me how to post an Excel file then you guys can play with it and tell me if I'm close. Moderators?

If not that can some of you guys that are done with your setups, let me know if you'd be willing to play with this file. Tell me if it's close. Or how close is it, that way I can figure out how much play you can have before inner fender clearance?

Cause right now what you do is enter in the stock wheel dimensions, and the new wheel dimensions, spacers, dropped spindles, narrowed beam.

And it tells you relative to the original wheel:

where the new one sits, before and after spacers, before and after narrowing, the change in turning circle based on the spacers.

But I would like it to say whether or not you will have clearance between the inner fender walls and the new wheel, right now it just says relative to the old wheel you'll rub and how much, as if the orginal wheel didn't have any clearance to the inner fender wells, but I know theres a some.

And because of this I don't know if you rub on the inner fenders first or the suspension. Thus not giving an accurate steering loss.

oh and I still need the stock wheel dimensions I've found that both +25mm and now +40mm are listed depending on the width 4.5, 5.0, 5.5

Just keep in mind that this was designed under a standard bug, but I supposed that a super wouldn't be to difficult.

thanks
