I’m jumping in on this! What wheels do you have with those castor settings Aaron and Simon? I’m trying to fit a set of 10 x 6 minator or GB’s to a mk1 without any luck. |

I’m trying to fit a set of 10 x 6 minator or GB’s to a mk1 without any luck. well Aaron doesn't have any caster, and I have heaps, so a bit of a difference - last event we were both on 12" yoko A539. My wheels are 12x5, I don't know what the offset is, but not huge, they sit more-or-less flush with the flares Mine rub on the leading edge of the guards at about 1/2 lock, I stretched one side a bit to get some more clearance but it still touches. I'm going to have the wheels machined to remove some offset, they have a lot of meat that can be removed without any rigidity issues. No problem with clearance on standard 10" Cooper S steel wheels. I also run my hydro with 300psi, so the car sits tall which helps with clearance No doubt your minators have massive offset - that extra 1" of width would be mostly outside the normal wheel centreline. here are a couple of pictures that tell the story (apologies for the orientation - consider it neck exercise) Attachment: 20180627_110206.jpg Attachment: 20180627_110312.jpg

It's an easy fix, take bolts out at front of subframe and fit the appropriate number of mudgaurd washers between frame and body panel. |

I get that from the 5 degrees toe out at the rear you might race or like it loose and the caster might help there, lower steering effort if you had mahoosive or sticky tyres? Jacking reasons related to castor? But are they that significant? |
