Now I've done a search and apologise for such a noobie question,

But what rubber have people managed to fit under a Series?

I've got this monstrocity that I've been building. A IIa 100" SOA on LC60 axles with 37x13.5" claws. Looking at the new rules and reg's that are being thrown about I'm looking to drop it back to SUA to keep it all schweeet. Just trying to see if others have run similar rubber under their series and how well they fitted.

Q78s No worries.

Mates have run upto 38's SPUA.

May need the correct offset, bumpstop/steering adjustment but you'll fit them

there's the context

i presume in order for the wheel to travel anywhere there might be some trimming involved.

dave, did you have to cut your front wings to fit the 36's, i mena at the front where the headlamps are lifted up.

You need to cut. I cut alot (got a little grinder happy :lol: ) but they turned out looking really nice.

I run series 2 front guards on my stage 1, which I cut the headlights into the blank front pannel nice and high. On series 3 guards they do hit.

Series 2 guards a a nice trick.

Cool. Do you have any pics of this by any chance? I've seen a few interpretations on how to cut the guards, but if need be, then I'm uncertain as to which pattern I'll use.

Yeh dude PM us your email address.

I used a Defender style pattern, but cut higher and wider.

The Defender wheel arch is 4inches back from a series, you you can us an exact pattern.
