Wide Arch Tarmac Car Problems

« on: January 20, 2010, 03:41:44 PM »

I have to say that if I knew then what I know now.........huh, that old chestnut. If your thinking of doing an Abarth replica, go for the narrow arch version, the problem I'm having with not only finding a reasonable priced wheel is the bigger problem of tyres, I'm at the point where I'm considering going back to Stradale and running 8's & 9's, tyres not a problem. So learn from my mistakes and buy a Stradale body kit.............unless anyone wants to buy my wide arch kit that is? Grin

But boy, they do look good! Roll Eyes

Hello,

not build back to Stradale!

make 50mm wheel spacer per Axle in front per side and 50mm or 60mm wheel spacer on rear Axle per side, and you can use the Original Wheels with 195/50 or 205/50 Toyo. (139.-Euro)

Do not put spacers, you can make the wishbones longer for about 70mm(easy job- see pictures)
Then you need to make the sway bar wider by welding a pipe on top of the cut in half roll bar or make compression struts like the ones used in abarth cars.
Tie rods have to be used with extensions or you can simply put lancia thema tie rods which arte longer than fiat 131 for about 50mm, rest fits.
This will make the car to turn much better than using spacers and also you can use 15"x7" wheels and for such wheels you can have plenty of tires.
