i am wanting to increse the wheel track on my car as i need to fill out the flares. just exploring my options first. there is just under 2" of room in the front and 2 n 3/4" in the rear per side.

from my knowledge i can either

* get new rims with a greater ofset
(although i alreaady have new rims)

* wheel spacers (bit dodgy)

* new diff and lower control arms

am looking for the best option that must be time and labour effective and cost effective and atleast semi legal but stil safe. if i am to go with the diff and contol arm method what benifits can be gained ie. brakes and diff centres. not to keen on changing struts as i already have lowered king springs unless they can still be used

The expensive option would be the Diff and control arm. You may have to get custom made control arms, as i think the ones on the market wont give you 2in of adjustment, also you will have to get adjustable cambertops to move the top of the strut over aswell. Unless you want about 20deg. of camber. You wont be able to do this with standard size springs, so you may have to convert to coilovers with 65mm springs, to allow for clearence in the strut tower.
You may even have to look at getting longer tie-rods, and adjustable caster bars.
The diff is the easy end.

Or another option is making a set of bolt-on wheel spacers. The spacers bolt onto the standard wheel studs, and they have another four studs mounted to the spacers. I have heard that in some states they are legel too. They may incress your wheel bearing wear tho.

i found this on ebay

thick as wheel spacers up to 2''

There the ones, and they not priced to bad.

are wheel spacers legal???

Alternately, you could remove the flares altogether, or replace them with ones that are not so wide that you need to think about replacing the whole rear end.

the flares are for the visual effect and they would look alot beter if they were filled out.... later on down the track i can get a diff that will give a wider track no doubt it will eventually happen....... but if those spaces are legal i can go down that track for the meantime

Ive bought a couple of sets of these, the best quality ive seen. There from JUSTJAP

Spacer

what size did you get?

ive got a diff and axle rear end from an xp falcon (4 x 114 stud pattern) that is about 2 inches wider for you (but im in melbourne).

They are borg warner 7 inch centers 9tougher than h165 too)
