How narrow to go?

[69rhdpanel]

i have got end plates to narrow my 70 bay beam.
i will be adding adjusters and dropped spindles so will be going low. i will be running 165/65 and 185/65 tyres on 14" steels.
obviously i can only do this one so im not sure how narrow to go, 2 or 4 inch. i like the tucked look but ive seen some that look too narrow. is there anyone running 4inch beam with 14" steels that could post a pic.
thanks

Here is Slammed's van On 14" Steels , Possibly a 5 inch beam

Here is mine on 15" Steels but on a 2 inch beam

Hope this helps mate

Aye, mine is a 5 inch narrowed splitty beam, but they are narrower than bay beams anyway so its more like 6 inches narrower than stock.

Thanks for the photos guys.
i think 4 inch it is then. the early bays iv seen that seem to be very narrow must be running split beams. i now know what i will be doing this weekend, lowering my bay. i need to do this first so i can get it in and out my garage while i get on with the resto.

100mm seemed too narrow to me, which is why I went 30mm possibly nearer 35mm off each side - that way I could accommodate weird offset porsche rims....

but you seem to only be able to get 50mm or 100mm off the shelf

It must be how I asked the same question as I got very little in way of responses!

Please see my thread here:

We decided for a 3" narrow, and am very pleased with the results, loads of pictures here:

Im going for a 3 inch beam as i will be running 14" steels with 165 65 tyres so will look just as tucked as 4 inch beam with alloys fitted.
will be starting a bulid thread for my bay that will include the beam build.
still clearing my garage so i can have room to work but my camper will be worked on outside or just pushed in to the front under the door to work on.
im putting it off a little because of the cold but i need to crack on and get some work done before the snow hits.
