Hi all not been working on cars for a while & thought ad upgrade first build on a few things :roll: so Ive never liked the 4 stud wheels :? bought a new set of 5 wide all 4.5 in width with wheel adapters :wink: but fit great on rear but got discs on front :? & they wont fit because caliper is proud of disc by about an inch :knob: :( SO any ideas? apart from shelling out on pricey 5 wide disc conversion :scratch: :shock:

About time you got your hands dirty Olly ;-). Might have something at home that'll do the job. I'll have a look when back from work.

Hi Olly think these are what you need. I had theses on mine in the early early days of the chassis build with disks up front also.. they add an inch either side to the track.

Those adapters and a shortened beam should do the trick without a tyre swap? Will you do the beam yourself??
