On SC850 I am running sportspack arches, 8.4 discs up front, 1 inch step drums on the rear, and 13x6 alloys.

Im not sure if this is normal, but my rear wheels do not fill the arches as much as my front wheels do - which is why I would like to widen the rear track by another inch each side - to make the wheel/arch alignment the same, front and rear.

Obviously this would affect the handling.

What would be the best method of attacking this? I can see my wheel studs will need to be even longer if i put a spacer in (yuck), and I'd say the wheel bearings might not last long either.

What to do... what to do?

What wheels are they? There are only 2 ways really- get wheels with different offset, or add spacers and longer studs. Either probably illegal under ADRs, if the fuzz measure your track.... You are only supposed to go 1" over `stock'!

<edit> I always wonder how twincammini gets away with his 13x7s... they stick out of the body like dogs b**ls!

that's the main thing that turns me off about sportspacks - they all seem to not have enough offset at the rear to fill the flares properly. My mate as 13x7s on his with sportspacks, they fill the flares but it looks too much like a toy

I might be totally wrong it's just an idea but would Moke radius arms create a different offset I thought I saw some on ebay and they looked to come further out....
For all I know they don't fit and may very well be illegal and or dangerous but it is just a though...
I can't find a picture of one so I can't check

early moke arms are the same as mini ones, while later 13inch wheeled mokes radius arms are longer between the hub and swing pin centres, but i dont think that they are a different offset.

oh another thing, moke rear drums have a 19mm built in spacer, not 25 (as cooper s , clubman s, ls and gt) so if you fit these drums you will altar your track by 6mm

OK, I thought they looked different but I wasn't really paying that much attension at the time.
