I havent been on here in a awhile but this project still going strong and looking better than ever

Inner arch extensions look good, but why are they needed? Surely if your increasing the front track the wheels would be further away than normal?

Ben inner arch extensions are put in as wheels sit more forward and are larger diameter wheels used , sure the track is widened , but still got to allow for when on full lock  with steering , this is what the works 306 maxi had done to them, hope this explains your question

[twangy]

moulded carbon fibre 306 maxi bumper spot light pods  during one evening in week , so manage to remove from mould i made a few weeks back and here they are , also made carbon /kevlar maxi air box parts , wich are pictured , just need trimming and cleaning up

see above.

the tarmac maxi cars ran an 18" wheel with a 640 200 18 tyre IIRC, so a good two inches taller than a 195 55 15, something along the lines of a 205 45 18 on gravel I think they were runnign similar overall diameter on a 16", so along the lines of 185 65 16.

this extra height as well as the additional castor but retaining the same strut top location meant the wheels were further forwards, not certain exactly how much but about an inch as well.

Ah fail on my behalf there. Sorry everyone.
