Nice looking car Jag!!!

Sorry to high jack your thread for a second, just got some quick questions... What size tires do you have on there? Do you run narrowed rear trailing arms? I have some 16\"x 6\" & 7\" Fuchs for my 62 and was unsure what size to run, and if the 23mm offset (on the 16x7s) will fit in the rear fenders. If they fit on a IRS they should fit on a short swingaxle..... I hope.

Thanks,
Rob

i have 16x7's with 23mm offset all the way around with 205's 40's front 50's back , front beam is 3'' narrowed , NO narrowed trailing arms in the rear , the camber just tucks them in , but i will be getting them soon , you will also have to drill your drums because the adaptors will make them stick out , i also have a full camber in the front to tuck them in , it's a tight squeeze , but looks sweet !

Ya, it does sweet, they look stuffed in there

Thanks for the info. I've got a 3\" beam too, so the front is no issue, just the back is looking close. My car has a set of long axles in, I'm sure of it. The 215/65 on steelies just squeeze under there, but I'll switch the axles when I get my new trans.

Thanks again,
Rob
