After following the lowering of the Skaife V8 on AUSLOT it looks as if there is more than one way to skin a cat. Instead of cutting the body posts, which I am against, The chassis is trimmed a bit and the axles in the chassis have been raised which could result in no damage to the body, only to the chassis which can be bought as a spare part. Seeing as lowering will be basically compulsory for next year would this method of lowering be allowed as I would lower a V8 this way.

Spoke to the other guys
Modifying the posts to lower the body on the chassis is the accepted method
Lowering the chassis by raising the axle mounting is not
After pulling my Skaife VE apart last night - I think there's another "easy" fix that will allow lowering effectively. Trimming the front wheels/hubs as they are wider thand than body itself. Would this be and acceptable/allowable mod, or does anyone else have a suggestion?

I had to shorten the hub's on my VE (see AUSLOT) but i'm using Ninco rim's so doe's that make my car illegal?

What is the real gain here as long as the wheels basic dimensions are maintained? If the width and the diameter are maintained how will this effect performance? More astheticaly pleasing?
The only "gain" as such would be a more asthetically pleasing look to the model, no alteration to the width/hieght, just the dremmelling out of enough "inner" rim material to allow for the insert.
And if enough people want them for their cars, Holden or Ford, I'd be happy to do the mod for free for those who are aren't game enough to try it!!!!
