Homz 0 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I've just bought some d90's, 6+8 x 16, ET52 (ish), I'm going for 25mm all round to be safe as i've not got stretched tyres and my cars low so I'm a bit woried about fouling the arches. If you go 40 and 35 your ET would be 25 and 30 so you shouldn't have a problem, but that does depend on what tyres you'll be using and how low your car is, and if you have coilovers....i think :-) Link to post Share on other sites
petervr6 0 Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 hello mate no coilovers the car dropped 60mm and im going to use 205/45 tyres as i have a brand new set sitting in the garden. Link to post Share on other sites
Homz 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I don't think you'll have a problem with that drop, i'm a bit worried mine will foul the arches as its pretty damn low. Just gonna get them and hope they fit as I really don't want to raise the car up...Good luck with yours though dude. Let us know how you go. I'll post some pics of mine when I eventually get them on!

craggsy 91 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I have on at the moment porsche 928s 7x16 and 8x16 with 25mm adapters all round with 195/45s and have no rubbing at all. I had my arches rolled when running 9x16s but even so i don't think i'd catch even oin standard arches Link to post Share on other sites
Mk1dubzter 0 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 would suggest 40mm front and 35mm rear.. Link to post Share on other sites

Thought i'd give you a bit of an update...Just to re-cap, I have 6+8's with 20mm adapters and 205/45/16 tyres. Went on fine! Looks wicked, they really fills the arches well, and don't stick out too far - though had some major rubbage issues on the back, so took the car down to Style Dynamix yesterday to have the rear arches rolled, (Chris)did a very neat job ,now no rubbage. £40 a side to have them rolled, can't complain at that! If you have 205/40/16 tyres you'll have more clearence and might not have to have the archs done, maybe...but I wanted to keep the rolling radius as close to factory as possible (so went for the 205/45/16), as I worked out if you have 205/40/16 your speedo will be out and obviously your odometer too so on average milage you'd be cocking up around 300 miles a year that you're not actually driving...if that makes any sense at all...hope this helps a bit?
