Gulf wide body

Can the gulf flairs be put on any GT40? Is the suspension the same in the rear and just accepts wider wheels or does it use different uprights?

Thank you
Jim
 
Same uprights as the narrow-rear GT40. The rear suspension links do have some transverse adjustability that can be used in conjunction with wheel backspacing to get the wheels into the right position within the flares. Track width is increased with wider tires, which will tend to make the wide-bodied car understeer compared to a narrow-bodied car with otherwise identical suspension settings, so using Gulf flares will require a firmer rear anti-roll bar and/or firmer rear springs.
