Dimma rear geometry
#1
What rear beam did the Dimma use? A wider track one? Or was this counteracted with BFO wheels?


Had a scour around the interwebz and found nothing Huh

iirc the dimma had a standard width beam (with massive TBs and ARB) with huge offset wheels.
The Maxi however had a wider beam which you can buy in bits from Peugeot Sport for about 10k i think it was.

So the most economical way to run a dimma rear kit would be with mahoosively offset wheels?

So how on earth would somebody go about buying these?! They're worse than rocking horse shit. Even a generic -48 offset wheel seems to not exist Sad

That was all the front stuff to extend the track of the front wheels. Nothing about the rears, or even wheels to fit lol

I would say that most people would run the biggest offset wheels with the biggest spacer that could

If you can find any wheels with a negative offset then with adapters your going to be close. Probably have to go for "drift" wheels. Im running -20 all round on the estate.
