Does anybody know the correct wheel specifications (back spacing and front spacing) for pin-drive front control arms on a Mark 1?
Alternatively, does anybody know exactly how far inboard pin-drive control arms move the spindle/hub assemblies as compared to the standard width control arms?
I’m converting from FFR’s older style tubular control arms to new pin-drive control arms. I currently have Team III 17 x 8 wheels and plan to purchase Vintage 17 x 9 wheels. My Team III wheels fit great and I want the outer edge of the new wheels to be in the same plane as the existing Team III’s.
I’ve found various sources that indicate that pin-drive control arms move the hubs inboard 1”, 1-1/2”, or 1-5/8”. I’ve measured the back spacing and front spacing on my Team III wheels and if I can obtain the pin-drive wheel specs I should be able to ensure that my new wheels will fit correctly.
Thanks.
