euro wheels, spacers etc..

hey guys am just wondering will spacers be required if i wanted to fit some 16x9 deep dishes? my mate told me i would be needing 60mm spacers to be able to get them on properly, is this true? thanks all

 

[BioHzrd]

You wont need a 60mm spacer dunno if youoll even need one at all as long as its the right ET and PCD you may need something like a 10mm to miss the suspension at the rear, full lock will also be limited i think

good luck trying to fit 16x9s on that clio.. my 8s are a tight squeeze

 

[dutty_112]

ive got 20mm spacers on rear, 15x7.5

9's !
....thats what my BBS are going to be after the rebuild...

youve got no chance of getting them in the arches unless you do some MAJOR arch work...im looking into it, and its looking like its another £700 bodyshop bill for that! ....otherwise have them sticking out the arches but its illegal :/

you can achieve the look though without going massively wide :/

£700 to do what??? well basically am after a wide fat look really from the back, kinda like pinkys if ya know what i mean, am sure she didnt need archwork though?

 

[Rage]

she didnt no...as hers are sitting outside the arch

...£700 is to completely pull out and rear build the rear arches around the 9j wheel.....and thats mates rates...

 

[Rage]

oh, and im 99.9% sure hers arent 9j on the rear

 

[J03]

bloody hell... lol i see i dont care legal or not hehe £700 i can invest in another set of wheels! myt just bolt on some rivot arches lol

oh, and im 99.9% sure hers arent 9j on the rear

haha

 

[Rage]

....9j will seriously stick out the arches so its up to you if you want to take the risk with the po.po.

best bet if you want a fit and play would be a 8j on the rear and 7j or 7.5 j on the front...

and as for spacers...i wouldnt bother.

...you can buy my BBS for £800

nmm maybe 8.5.. want the back to look as fat as possible.. i love the whole over weight muscular bulging ripped.. think il stop there lol
7.5 for the front

thanks for the offer but i have my eyes on some tasty selections just finding the right sizes is abit ghey... what should i be looking for anyway in terms of of set and all that, eg, 4x100 etc..

 

[Rage]

lmfao!

..well depends on how wide your wanting to go.
i wouldnt go any less than ET43....even those might require 3mm spacers to miss the suspension..

but fitment wise your after a pcd of 4x100 and a center bore of 60.1

so what do you think is a safe 'ET' lol well anything fatter than my 17s/7.5" will do really, want it to look chunky, squat, fat err oops here i go agen.. lol what do people reckon to the borbet bs? only because its a cheaper option...

Pitch Circle Diameter = the diameter round the centre of the holes.

well what size you wanting to go for?
15's...16's?

...personally, i think a nice set of 7J ronal turbos would look sweet if your on a budget as theyre a smart euro proven set of rims. can pick them up for like £550 with tyres...as you can with the ATScups.
