    Pandem kit wheel fitment specs

    So, the info is nowhere to be found. Looking for what maximum allowable wheel distance on Pandem widebody kits. (I know steering angle gets limited). On my custom kit I just made it around the configuration. Obviously it wont be that way when ordering the actual kit.
    Nobody would recertify these machines after somebody screwed with them without any visibility into what they did.

    HONK! HONK! Clown car coming through!

    Just from a bit of experience with building widebody's, I find it best to fit the fenders and then measure and build 3 piece wheels to fit. Provided the budget allows

    1. Out of my price limit. 2. I think they look akward amd just not what im going for. Nice tho. Wonder what the offset is? I guess im looking for distance from hub pr other body position.

    I’d try Apex ARC 8 in 17x10 or 10.5. There are periodic group buys. You can use rear spacers if needed to push the wheels out a little further. I have a set of 17x10s to run next year, but have a Hard flare kit. The overfender and body kit thing is not really my style. Hard does make an overfender kit now. They race what they sell so their stuff is proven and they know what wheels and tires fit their stuff on the track where the body moves.

    I just posted those as a reference for you. They are the widest wheel/tire combo I know of on a pandem style kit. Offsets are listed in the listing, do the math.

    So.. I guess it puts the fender at 5.25" from the hub. If he didnt use any spacers.
    Which isnt alot i guess. My custom kit was like 6.25".. Ugh.. Well.. Guess il just buy some more too big spacers to run mpars. Keep my big ones for style 5s or stock wheel sizes or something.

    Rc090's only came as a 2 piece so custom conversion to 3 piece is necessary as far as I know. The bbs rs models came as a 3 piece but prices are substantially higher

    I've mentioned this in other similar threads, but 17" tires are getting harder to find all the time and sizes are more and more limited.

    You may want to look at 18s to get much better tire selection.

    -Josh: 1998 S54 E36 M3/4/6 with most of the easy stuff and most of the hard stuff. At least twice. 271k miles. 1994 E32 740il with nothing but some MPars. 93k miles.

    Eh. I have assortments of wheels. Plan on useing e34 18v low offset mpars as the main set. Front 8" rear 9.5".. So its already a bit of a challenge getting proper tire sizes anyway.
