So I though I'd figured out how to solve the rear wheel gap situation by using 8/7/5 series wheels. Luckly with an 840 to hand i "borrowed" the spare wheel to try. This is a 235/45/R17 on a 17x8J rim. Attached to Sportster with 4 to 5 lug adapter:
Rear wheel looks good!
Stock E30 205/55/R15 on 15x7J rim no spacers - bit tight on the body:
Much better with gap and spacing:
Now heres the
bit - not nearly enough room for the wheel to fit in!
And again:
Front cover, the looks fine, if a little tight:
OK as well:
I hear Marlin do wide arches - how do I know if I have the wide ones? Does anyone have any measurements?
There's obviously no chance of fitting a wider rear wheel in there!
