Re: why has my wheels got wider out from the gaurds

blue box is the tierod, adjusting this will change the toe in or out, meaning the tyre will turn in towards or away from the centre of the car.

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

an what other parts do you have blair?
It's looking like the LCA's are a different length.

I have a complete RND headlight front end here ATM.

I will check it against the square headlight front end tomorrow...... I'll post up some pictures, measurements etc......

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)

Like you, I'm pretty sure they are all the same, just trying to eliminate the LCA's.

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???
