i will be using 7Rs at the back of my 72MY running with the 205 or 215 avons. I dont want to modify the rear wings at all except for maybe rolling the edges

For standard steel trailing arms, am i correct in thinking that what i need are 15mm spacers and 66mm studs at the back to do this?

Thanks

Hi Dougie,

I run 7R's on the rear of my 72 narrow bodied car with 215/60 Avons, arches have been rolled - I use a 14mm space and 930 studs (72mm I believe) which leave 44mm exposed stud length. I took these photos for someone who asked....

...all a little tight but works well and looks pretty good.....

Thanks Darren, very helpful. Do you need open lug nuts?

Open lug nuts are required for track cars.
