I need to keep my fenders ...quebec law...with adapters i lose width can't go wyder than 185....how thick are your adapter's????altonk

They are 1.5 inch he can make .75 too there are some fenders around that u can adapt

Ride Wright does not need an adapter. They bolt right up, because they are custom cut for the Spyder. They are a fantastic wheel, but you will have to modify your fenders if you have to have them.

tread width...

One thing that you need to watch when increasing the tread width of an independently sprung suspension is the increased loads imparted on the components... mainly the bearings.
When I owned my 64 Avanti, I installed mag wheels that offset the tires about an inch. This small difference magnified the loading enough that the bearings wore out in short order. These vehicles were designed to withstand certain loads, and when loading is increased, it can cause premature failures. :lecturef_smilie:

Thank's for the info guy's.... i found a specialist who will modify my bearings and fit an adapter....keep you posted with the modif.

 

[altonk]

Shouldnt have to modify the bearings they will take the load just fine

 

[altonk]

The large diameter tires are just a bling thing, autocross and open wheel guys stay at 15. The big tires have too much angular momentum takes more power to spin up and down
