Nice work though ...very impressive.
Hey Rob, my name is Wil and I had this guy come to me with these rims and say "how do we fit these into a Cobra" Well my initial thought was that we don't.
Anyway that's history now.. The tyres clear the chassis by 15mm/side and I set up a pan hard rod and actuated the suspension through it's travel by 40mm (perpendicular) without any obstruction. Then rotated it through it's arc to 65mm travel and we got down to 7-9mm clearance still. The funny thing is that the outer tyres section sits only 7mm from the body, but due to the arch in the rear body guard, the tyres miss and do not scrub either.. It worked out quiet well in the end, even to my surprise..
Cheers
Wil
