These Wheels Are Driving Me Mad !

[VR6DEN 53]

Hi All,

I am trying to work out what spacers I need for these wheels.

The front rim is touching the caliper.

Please can someone help,

205 45 16 or 215 45 16

16 9J ET 30 all 4 rims

Standard springs,

I will lower it at a later date.

Thanks 

Den

Hi den, will you clear the caliper with 10mm spacers? With those fitted it will give et 20. You will need stretch tyres den. I know you've got tyres, 205/45/16? What is the speed and wall rating on them? 81v's, 87w's or what? Reason for asking is that you don't want too soft tyre wall if you're to stretch a 205 onto a 9" rim.

I'm not a tyre expert, this info is just from my limited knowledge and personal preference regards to safety.

Hi,

Ok I think that 10 mm will work,

I have two pirelli zeros on the front and two unknowns on the rear, if the stretch is too dangerous, will 215 40 work?

215/40 would be my personal preference den. Still stretched but not excessively. Especially being auto, you'll be carrying a little extra kerbweight, make sure they're strong on the sidewall.

Your gonna struggle with 9j up front I think, I've got 7.5j et33 and it's just on flush with arch.

You simply haven't got the room to play with like you do at the back

Do you know anyone that has put 9js on the front ?

cheers

My mate has 9.5j on front of his mk2.

And there narrower than mk3's.

They do poke out. But he has stretched tyres.
