Lots of stretch,pulled arches,little poke and lots of low,well thats the plan anyway.
Im hoping to leave the arch trims on(debatable i know),I have seen these with the trims on,and look  :cool:

The old rims will be up for swaps,im after some longbeach for winters,will swap mine(BK299 Matt black 17")plenty of tread no wear on tyres, plus $100 my way :undecided:
pm me if interested.

couple of pics of the old ones:

Modern-lines do generally look sweet as a nut on mk3's, especially these ones with the concave face.

damn that is some very heavy specs right there..... 9 wide at et15 calls for some serious work !

mega strech , some camber on the rear and rolled guards you may pull it off

not sure a 9 wide et 15 is gonna work on the front though

if there is a will, there is a way

good luck

It may be worth finding someone with a more sensible sized set and seeing of you can coax them into swapping two of theirs for two of yours so you can fit them on the front.

9" on the front = major work / ballache :smiley:

Title: Re: Schmidt Modern-lines
Post by: thai-wronghorse on 13 August 2011, 17:22

Not to mention heavier steering.

Post by: jonnypolish on 13 August 2011, 22:58

Those ML's will look awesome!
Always wanted a set for my dub which i never got :(
Instead i just found a set of Azev A's 10J at the rear for my drifter :D

Just roll the arches and stretch the tyres, remember you can poke em if needed  :cool:

Post by: gtiballs61 on 14 August 2011, 19:02

Made a bit more progress today :grin:

B and Q angle grinder (£9.99) set of googles and some grinding discs,and away i went on the rear lips.
Managed to get the car drivable with no rubbing issues now.

Originally i got 4 x tyres of a mate(£100)new, 205/40/16.fronts are fine,although im gonna stretch some 195/40 on the rears for more low.I am also gonna flare the rears more to.maybe some camber if needed.
As for the steering,cant really feel any difference.

Pics as promised:

Car is no where finished until i get the look im after :angry:

Looks good.

Re stretch: More stretch on rears than fronts looks odd.

A touch of camber will help with clearance.

Seriously some of the nicest wheels ever made imo. Simple and effective  :cool: Looks awesome man :afro:

Post by: Rob_g60 on 14 August 2011, 20:58

looks good mate,

this is how we got mine to fit lol, lips are huge on the mk3 so they need to go to get them lower

Should be making a start on thursday :angry:
At the moment im running 205/40/16,how much of a difference will it make if change to more of a stretch,say like 195/40/16?
Also is it safe to cut away part of the inner arch(double skinned) :undecided: Or should i just flare them?

Title: Re: Schmidt Modern-lines
Post by: Wayne on 16 August 2011, 20:20

Looks awesome  :cool:

195/45/16's are the size you need.

Arch lip needs to be folded or flared to keep strength in the panel.
