Richy_cti 0 Posted September 17, 2010 im looking on putting a wide arch kit on and dont want to put huge spacer on the car. someone mentioned that with a little modification a 306 rear beam should fit. i have one off a 306 sedan im breaking, and i want to know if it has been done before and whats involed before i go getting in over my head. thanks in advance for any help on this topic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jord294 89 Posted September 17, 2010 there is quite a bit of work needed, to make the 306 beam fit why don't you use a 309 beam ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spiky 37 Posted September 17, 2010 what about a 306 beam and using ford off set wheels? ignoring the the fitting of the beam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richy_cti 0 Posted September 17, 2010 i like the idea of the 306 beam due to price and convineance and yes with a different offset wheel it should be wide enough and disk on the rear bonus. has anyone actualy fitted a 306 beam to the 205 before? i may just have to pull my beam off line it up and see how it goes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,645 Posted September 17, 2010 what about a 306 beam and using ford off set wheels? ignoring the the fitting of the beam wont work I'm afraid, the wheels will rub on the trailing arms, ET28 x 6.5" with just about fit with a small lip on the rim. not seen a 306 beam on a 205, but someone on the forum did fit one to a 309, I don't think its worth the hassle at all when a 309 beam bolts straight on.
