Hopefully the same place will sell you the extra long wheel studs you'll need! [:D]

Sounds extreme to me - considerable extra loading on the wheel bearings - and the contact patch of the front tyres will be well outside the design spec!

32mm spacers sounds slightly overe the top to me too ...

Or have your steel wheels banded, much cheaper [:)]

I have some spacers that were on my v8 they are about 25mm but maybe wider with extensions for the studs you can have for the cost of postage.The car had dolomite wheels when I got it, took them off after changing the bearings.

I am running 13x8 Superlites on my TR8 with the long forest flares with about 1/4-inch of clearance.

So who sells the Long Forest Arches (as above) [^].
The ones I've seen, seem to be a lot wider [:(].

Michael, I think that you are right and mine are the Long Forest Arches. That is a much better picture than the ones you showed me before. I like them, a lot. They mostly cover the 225-50/15 tires on the back of my car.

I got the long forest arches from Bert Smeets and associate in Belgium. The rims, 13x8 have a back spacing of 4.6 inches of 117mm with about .5 to .75 inches of clearance to the shock.
