Spoke to a few people and 7.5" (why this size..cus theres Fcuk-all choice wiv 7" :(:() will go on. My main concern is the front wheel touching the suspension. R-Tech say they will go on with spacers (1mm :o spacers) just 'ave to see... | |

kenni you need a bigger spacers than that mate, trust me, I have 7 x 18's in 45mm offset with coilovers, i have 4mm spacers on the front and you would stuggle to get a rizzla paper between the coilover and wheel, if you have 7.5 x 18's you will need more than a 4mm spacer!!! | |

Whats the point with a 1mm spacer?? its too thin, it wont make any difference what so-ever! How close do you want to run the tollerences? if 1mm allows clearence then as soon as the SLIGHTEST bit of flex occurs in the steering assembily it will catch. | |

Just need it for my front wheels, as its going to be 7.5" wide and clearance need from my suspension. An orignal offset of e45 plus the 3mm spacer = e42 will be fine wont it, on 18's? Think an extra 3mm wont rub my front arches? :o | |
