Title: Monocraft wheel size ?
Post by: paul.mcgrath on March 26, 2017, 19:38
Hi all , need some help please  .....

Fittting monocraft kit at the moment and my wheels look tiny ......

Have 17" on the car at the moment with tein springs but it looks like it's
On stilts !!

Is there any info for the right size of wheel for the kit  ?

Have seen what lee has done and have enquired about coilovers to drop it further
but maybe a bigger wheel maybe the answer ......

Any advice or suggestions will be much appreciated

Thanks

I would imagine it's the width and offset that's an issue. Any pictures ?
