Barry nothing to connect here the track width on this car is 54" the wheel is at the edge of the fender, It is a 15" wheel with (VTO)a 25mm +offset so the option I chose was to narrow the front track by machining the hub and a new flange to put it right not the first time I have done this by the way.
Joel,
I understand the logic of narrowing the front flange-to-flange dimension to get 15x6 wheels under the fenders.
What I don't understand is how you were able to move the wheel inward by one inch. On my S-V with 15x6 +27 wheels (almost exactly the same as the 15x6 +25 VTO's you are using) and with factory stock Series Alpine control arms / spindles / hubs, the inside bead flange of the wheel only clears the outer end of the upper A-arm by about 1/4" and there is no way to move the wheel inward.
How were you able to move the 15x6 wheels inward by one inch and avoid interference between the inside of the wheels and the outer ends of the upper A-arms?
One possibility I can think of is that Nick provided you with a matching pair of Unicorns (aka, drop spindles from a Super Minx) which would eliminate the interference problem.
