My car so far

Post by Black_360_GLT » 03 Mar 2004 09:28 pm

green cotton induction cone (removed air box
and intake pipe)
Smoked black indicators, side repeaters & rear clusters
Kenwood KDC-791 head unit
KDC-C717 10CD changer (mounted in glove box)
17''x7.5'' wolfrace alloy wheels with 205/40 tyres
Delocked passenger door side (used rear door handle assembly)
Removed badges from boot
If anyone has any suggestions for modifications or mods they have done to their 340/360 let
me know, my ideas list is a mile long but could always do with some more input
Thanks
Al

Offset is 35 I think.
It wasnt a straight forward fit, I needed 5mm spacers on the front and oversized nuts welded
onto the hub.
The back arches dont catch the arches but the front still catch if you take corners hard or go
over pot holes, so I am going to have my arches rolled, then they will be fine.
Il put a pic of my car on the forum soon.
Thanks for reply.

Cant be 35, i had 7" offset 35 and there was one millimeter between the tire and the shock..
So half inch is about 1,25 cm= u have to put 12,5mm spacers in front..

Well, I have 5mm spacers on the front to clear the shocks
and I have 13mm bolts welded onto the hub, so my wheels fit ok, but on extreme cornering
and bumps in the road the arches rub so I am having the arches rolled on the front.

I have had the arches grinded and they are not catching on
the front now, cost me £30 and they wax oiled the arches for rust proofing too.
So, you can fit 17inch wheels on a 360 without too much hassle, I am not sure how the car will
cope when its lowered 40mm, just have to wait and see :)
