Thanks for those calculations! Thumbs up!
I think you're right. I didn't calculate it myself as I'm too lazy for that. I usually use the wheel offset calculator or willtheyfit to do this. When I wrote the above, I used the wheel offset calculator. When I perform the same calculations on willtheyfit, I get the same results as you calculated. Thumbs up!

My plan is to use slightly wider tyres than I currently have, as I don't like them overly stretched. However, I found out 195/60 is about the widest tyre available in the Netherlands for 14-inch wheels. I can find them in wider sizes, but then they tend to be extremely expensive.

My car is, as far as I know, not lowered. I do have plans to lower it, but those springs only lower something like 20mm. For the Panhard rod that should be fine. I'll fit the wheels to the car when I get the chance and see how much it will poke out.

Tonight I moved the AE86 into its new home:

I still need to find the reference points on how to park tighter to the wall. Apart from the garage door that is way smaller, the garage feels much more spacious! Smile

I still have plenty of room at the rear:

That one meter extra space really makes a difference! Thumbs up!
