Question Will A 9" Rim Fit???

Well, the answer to the above question is YES.

After spend months in the cold garage taking measurements and working out if we could fit a 9J rim, our wheels turned up the other day from Team Dynamics, so it was time to see if all the calculations were correct and see if they would fit, well mainly clear the lower suspension arm.

As you can see for yourself the pictures in the link above that they do fit and they do clear, looks a little odd as the body isn't wide enough, but does look better with "bigger boots" the front also clear and we can turn lock to lock without hitting the anti rollbar or lower suspension arms as well, (unlike the other 2 racers)

The car is looking a bit untidy but thought i'd get some pictures before the rain started, will upload better pics once the front is finished off more and once the brakes are on the front as well.

Cheers Jon
