16" wheels on low van

[slowmo]

Hi
I have a set of 16" Fuchs for on my bus 6 & 7s.
I've tried the rear wheels up the arches and it's pretty tight. I wanted to run the bus low not slammed but low. Seen a pic of a lotus white westy running at the height I like.
Am I best swapping to narrow rears or even 15" wheels? Most low buses on here look to be on 14 or 15" wheels.
Any suggestions appreciated

I presume you planning on running adapters, well try running converted drums, this will save you a chunk and should then fit better.

Sorry should have said
Fronts 944 hubs with beam, narrowed but undecided how much yet
Rear 944 trailings arms (steel) with 944 rear disks

16" wheels are possibly on a low bus just take a bit of thinking about and machining, especially if you want the centre caps to fit flush.

Have a search for Autotechniks, Mark has a biege 68 that is pretty dam low and he runs 16" fuch.

I run 16" Teledials on adapters. It's tight, but doable.
