I've bought some wide wheels and want to shorten the axle by 50mm

Sounds an interesting experiment Andy. Keep us posted
Will do mate. It will mean I need to shorten the ARB as well, or maybe make a new one from some sprung steel bar.
I got the idea from Jon who is painting my car, he had some split rims made up to 10j and had to shorten his axle to get them to fit.

What happens with the inner arches (tubs) and the top strut mounts?
There must be enough room to bring it in as the guy I'm copying off has air ride fitted as well. Looking to come in about 20-25mm at each end, which isn't a lot from top to bottom. Like I say, it's just an experiment to see if it works for me.
I'll let you know how it goes
