yes 7" wide 16's will I think but 6.5" wide ones wont, especially with 40 profile rubber and et45..? | |

Ok here's the score... They guys who have 7" wide 17's need to run at et40 (thats the 'new' et with spacers on) to get clearance. So 7.5" should run at about et33-34. The wheel is half an inch wider so will need a quater of an inch more clearance on the inside... | |

Got 18's on mine mate withe the spax coilovers, have used 4mm spacers Alloys are 7" wide, not too much hassle take out inner arches and trim the metal under the plastic arches till it dont rub, mines dropped 70mm at front with very minimal rubbing :) | |

REALLY, darn! So his wheels are now et40? That musnt be very nice for a slam? Im wanting to downsize my wheels but I dont know if I dare go for a 14" with 60mm back and 70-80mm front. Maybe just a nice subtle 16" would work for a good 60mm all-round with them being that bit slimmer and expensive 40profile rubber should work wonders too! | |
