tyres arches responses - thanks / more help needed

[iain fraser]

thanks for all that

summary seems to be that my 2000 cromodoras will be best with branded 165/80/14

further appeal though ..... does anyone know anyone who has successfuly applied the fibercar.it wheel arch extension codolini to a regular s3 1300
very frustrating because fibercar (my fault - no Italian) list these as being for 1300 stradale but dont reply to queries in english (quite right too) re whether they will fit and importantly HOW to fit them.

frustrating because im certain ive seen these on regular s3 arches in photos but cant contact anyone whos done it
thanks again

Hey Iain...

I sent you an email too on this. But can you provide either the EXACT backspace or EXACT total width of that 2000HF 14x5.5" Cromodora you are using? It would be helpful in my seemingly never-ending search for something suitable for my little girl...

Thanks!
Chas

oops! put this on the wrong thread, below!

Neil...
Do you have this detail? As I've learned, and you all probably already know, a 5.5" wheel is NOT 5.5" wide. The 5.5" is measure inside the flanges where the tire seats. Total width includes the flanges themselves, inside and out. So I'm looking for either the total width (outside flange to inside flange) or an accurate backspace measurement (mounting plate to inside flange) of the 2000HF 14x5.5" Cromodoras.

Anybody else?
THANKS! Chas
