Narrower rear track to accommodate wider wheels

[Steve Winslade]

I have been told that if I replace my facelift 2.2ltr rear end with a Z3M rear it will give me more room to fit bigger wheels and tyres or I can use the pre facelift rear as an option. Is this true? or am I barking mad?

I have heard similar or you can use 1.9 half shafts, this allows you to fit deep dish wheels.

How much wider do you wanna go?

They will swallow a 10 inch rim easily!

I think it is so you can use the deep dish stuff mate like the Z3M wheels.

Thanks guys, If you just change the half shafts, will that do, or do you have to change the wishbones as well. Are the 1.9 half shafts a direct fit and will they handle the extra power and grip? Don't want to go spending on something that won't work if you know what I mean.
