15" ET20 8J wheels on ph1 172??

[Timmsy]

Hi all

As per title really.. will they fit ok? Car isnt lowered or anything yet but i'll probably put some cooksports on at the same time.

Am i going to be suffering any arch scrapage? i'll probably run my 195 tyres so a little stretch, i know its not to everyones taste but each to their own and all that

 

[Ash']

They will probably rub but is doable it's been done on here if you have a search for rota grid-v's. You'll more then likely have to cut away some of the arch liner, add some camber and stretched tyres like you've said.

 

[Timmsy]

Thought that might be the case

Any ideas on caliper clearance? Im assuming that being ET20 they will be well clear of the caliper but never like to assume

 

[BustaMOVEs]

Et doesn't tell you if it will clear the caliper, it's all in the design of spokes etc (wheel design) although it will between 2 same wheels with different offset ime

Standard oz f1's are ET 37 I think, so running ET 20 will be like running 17mm spacers with standard wheels. So on that basis I would say your be ok.

 

[Timmsy]

Excellent! just what i wanted to hear Bobby

I've offered them up and it would seem caliper clearance isn't an issue so im pretty certain with the answers above i'll be ok

Next job - get the centre bore machined out

 

[Bobby.]

No worries, hope you get them on ok.

just noticed your from Eastbourne as well. I don't suppose your running turinis atm?

 

[Timmsy]

Ahhh yeah Eastbourne too! Just noticed that! nope standard F1's at the moment. Will be hopfully putting some WRD chevlon mesh wheels on though if i can find a decent place round here to machine out the center bore


Is there another ph1 around here on turinis?
