Fitting Countax - X rims to front of Westwood Gazelle W11 as on rear

I successfully fitted Countax bolt on X rims to the rear adapters I put on my Westwood these are fabulous and are 18x9.5-8 2ply LUG these are 4 stud and brilliant . I was hoping to fit some to the front to level the chassis. The steering arm on the Westwood seems quite close to the small tyre. Will this arm fit inside my new wheels or will I have to mod it please. If I need to mod it what needs to be done

Thanks

I noticed the steering arm is underneath on this toro I am presuming i need a mod. I am going to fit same Countax adapters

Only way is to try it. Try to space the tire out a little to clear the arm. Or make the arm taller to clear over the tire.

Hi Redlinemotorsports . I did think this but fab is going to be a little of a point as raising it will still likely to be a problem . The toro runs underneath I wondered if this would be better putting it in middle of the wheel ?

I wonder if someone has done this already this is my machine

I picked up these cheap would these be better for front. They have a 15mm bearing surface wich then fits a 32 mm bearing i think
