    Your wheels will fit, you will need to make the car body wider by 2 inches each side, or make the axle narrower by 2 inches each side, they will fit fine with tarmac or (most) forest arch kits,
    You need to weld on some new spring saddles in the correct place, Gartrac and Rallye Design both sell these fairly cheaply
    If car is low (or doing jumps) the nose of the axle may hit the diff tunnel

    Hi Mark

    would like to keep axle standard so parts are cheaper if needed, looks like forest arches might be needed.
    Ratio wise how do you think it will be at 3.09 & 13"wheels

    Thanx Tony
