Re: why has my wheels got wider out from the gaurds
the yellow box is your lower control arm. if this is longer than your original one, it will place the hub, wheel etc further out towards the guard as bart has said.
going from the pics, it doesnt look too bad. as long as your warrant man isnt a cock, you shouldnt have problems with it. if you do, go with your old mans suggestion and get narrower tyres. as long as the tread pattern is inside the guard, they cant do shit

It's looking like the LCA's are a different length.sunny79datto wrote: are em square headlight parts diffrent?

Re: why has my wheels got wider out from the gaurds
are you 1000% sure your new wheels have the same offset? I'm 99% sure than all b110/210/310 lower arms are the same length. (Just some have the longer bottom ball joints)
They don't call me the man with the rubber arm for nothing you know.............

Re: why has my wheels got wider out from the gaurds
yea their the same mags.. i put my old mag back on that i have an its still the same problem sticking out from the gaurd a bit.. could try roll my gaurds or something but not to keen.. as for balljoints do you reakon thats the problem? havent measured how much the wheel sits out but id say about 20 30mm
Re: why has my wheels got wider out from the gaurds
Like you, I'm pretty sure they are all the same, just trying to eliminate the LCA's.mint16 wrote:are there two different size control arms for b310??
I had a look at all of my B310 LCA's that I have here and they are all the same and the ball joints are all in the same position.
I'm thinking something like this........ Someone at some point may have swapped over the B310 parts for B210 or even B110 parts, mixed and matched it up to work???
