17' Porsche cup 2's on t25 side door catching wheel

Post by **youthy giblets!!!** » 11 Jul 2008, 22:39

Just fitted my 17' porsche cup 2's to my T25 side door clipping rear wheel when open, is this just a case of cutting and extending the rear part of the sliding door mech or does anything else need altering. cheers Jon

Not sure where from but a mate of mine got hold of an extended sliding door hinge which brought the door out further when opened so it missed the wheels. Not a lot of help I know but just letting you know that they are out there.

its not quite as simple as fitting just the hinge. you will need to do all the associated metalwork too.

How wide are the tyres and how thick are your adaptors? Is it possible to either machine the adaptors down 5mm (cheapest option!) or reduce the tyre width? (not so cheap). The extended hinge is more involved than people first think but there enough peeps to help you with ideas on here!

Yes they are a lot easier on the ealry door but body mods need to be done on the later.
See brickyard there is a how to do guide on there somewhere.
