i-ninja 0 Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hi all, anyone got these wheels? I recently recieved a set.. They are 8x17 et32 however they dont clear the front calipers, any ideas? I have seen people running these wheels before. Here is a pic of one fitted to a vr6, I think hes on this forum but im not sure what his username is.Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
poultonjoe 0 Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Get a small spacer. You can get them in 3mm, 5mm, 10mm...just pick one that spaces them out just the right amount. Link to post Share on other sites

CorradoVR6-n.o.s 0 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I ground down the calliper housing on the fronts to clear the front wheels,don't be alarmed about the grinding down as it was more like trimming Link to post Share on other sites
black dub 3 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 hi mate im having the same problem but with fitting a set of keskin kt5's. yes you can fit spacers but then the outer lip of the wheel sits directly under the lip of the wheel arch and when you go over any type o bump it will slam on the arch and buckle the wing so not a good idea. and as for grinding the caliper surly this is not good practice.
