    Ah ok, they stuck out a bit more than I remember

    I dont think the arches were flared as far as they'd go though, could be wrong. I used to love those wheels, they stuck out too much on mine even with overfenders!

    why cant i find any sexy Equips

    MattyPym - if you'd ever sell id be more than interested in buying them from you. Or even p/x with a pair of 10j equips??

    Ive been looking for a strong pair of Equips for a year now and everytime i find a set/pair they sell.

    Good luck though dude

    I put a bar up into the arch between the wheel and the arch and pulled the arch out at the top where the roller can't get to to give more space on the inside (a hammer also helps ) , to get any more inside clearance id have had to tub the rear arch wich is a lot of work i didn't want really Still scraped now and then and having rear passangers was errr fun

    eh

    I've often rolled the inner arch above the arch on cars that need it - BMWs/Mercs etc

    never an S body

    If they clear at the lip you've got it in the bag

    If you need a really big flare you can cut the inner skin and go bigger

    on a more helpful note

    11" et20 should be not too hard with 255

    12" you'll probably need a 275 so et30 would be good

    If you want them with reasonable camber then negative offsets aren't going to work

    If you want loads of camber and stretch then see the above

    Yeah i had to do something with it as it was hitting the inside liner were it joins to the arch when my coilovers where set low. I beat it with a hammer and and give it a bit of bar-ing as i didn't really want to cut the inner liner out . As i say still scraped a bit now and then

    I don't mean cut the inner arch out

    just cut a line in it allows you to flare it way out, then weld it up
