What Is This?

hey guys i was thinking of getting a new set of wheels but i dont no how they will fit coz theres this weird roll thing attached to my suspension and i dont no if i getter any bigger wheels will they fit. and wat is it anyways?

[scathing]

Most people would couple up getting bigger wheels by going to a smaller profile tyre.

You don't need that 'roll thing'. Just cut it back with a grinder to fit whatever sized wheel you desire.

first of all dont go grinding anything around there, with out looking at it in person i would say its part of your suspention.

and second, when you get bigger rims you get a lower profile tyre so that the rolling radius is the same or as close as posible to the factory size. this not only keeps it legal but stops it from mucking up what your spedo says

Looks like your upper suspension arm - dont grind it off haha

[Wacky Dee]

grind it off I reckon ..who needs arms when you've got 4 wheels

Oh yeah, what jaspar said ... bigger wheels = smaller profile tyres. Your rolling radius must be kept to within 3% of the original iirc.

lol.... classic!

hahahaha. what if he left after the 3rd post, and got his grinder out?

lol. the 'thing' above your wheel is two things. upper control arm and you can also see part of the upright there. yes you need them. the guy was joking but some people didn't get it....

wheels with a lower offset should clear it.

ok i see now i was about to go and get out the grinder but i didnt lucky (jks) i now know wat ur talking about

cheers guys

just be careful as i thik there was a guy on here got wrong tyre/rim combo and the shop bent the arm to fit rims

[nisskid]

dont be stupid people, dont grind it off.

you can simply unbolt them...

upper control arms are over rated.

weight reduction?
