Edmundo2 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Hi. I think there's been threads on this before but I'm afraid I can't seem to find them? My arches are due to be tidied up/painted in Feb so in anticipation I thought I'd buy new "race" wing stays as I'd heard they were shorter and moved the arch closer to the tyre. Upon receiving new "race" stays it appears they are no shorter anywhere vs what I have? So I assume I already have "race" stays or the info I remember ref them being shorter is not correct. So I'll need to send them back but it leaves me wondering whether others have found there are indeed 2 x different lengths, whether to just to live with the gap, ( not too bad now that taller R888 tyres fitted ), or whether to get the existing stays modded..? I'll likely just leave them unless theres a quick/easy fix but any feedback welcome.. Cheers, Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmundo2 Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 Hi. No clue how to upload photos on hear..? Any guidance appreciated..? Its not the biggest gap I've ever seen now that it wears R888's but if it was plug and play with race stays to make gap tighter I'd have gone there.. As it is its poss as good as it gets..? I was just surprised as think I've seen a few cars with a more snug fit..? Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted December 23, 2021 Member Share Posted December 23, 2021 "No clue how to upload photos on hear..? Any guidance appreciated..?"There are three ways of posting images: two by uploading them to this site, and one by linking to them on another site eg Dropbox.They're all described in the Forum User Guide.Most Members now use the shortcut upload. That's quick and comparatively easy, but it does limit the resolution of the image. Not usually a problem for photos but can be for screen dumps, images of documents etc. The other two methods don't have that limitation.Please let me know if you need any help or want to practise.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerobod - near CYYC Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Standard wing stays with 13" wheels and 185/60-13 tyres leave quite a bit of gap, but with 15" wheels and 195/50-15 tyres, it is quite a tight fit on the same car: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Ref post #7 above ... if you are using an Android phone you need to click on the 3 dots to open the pull down menu, then 'select desktop site'. Then you can see the upload button in the BC menu bar above the post creation box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmundo2 Posted December 24, 2021 Author Share Posted December 24, 2021 Aha! Found it, ( no three dots but else where ). Thanks. Image here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmundo2 Posted December 24, 2021 Author Share Posted December 24, 2021 As you can see it's not massive with R888 fitted but I like the fit you see on 15's..Poss more hassle than it's worth if simply swapping stays is not the solution.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
