16"s fit but 15"s wont?!? this is silly

[f0xy]

just got my car on stands on the driveway...

..took my superleggeras off because theyre going for a refurb, already put the 15" dynamique alloys on the back and they are fine... come to put the fronts on... bolted it all in as it should be... then noticed the actual tyre was catching on the shock, so the wheel wont move... why would 16's be perfectly fine and the 15's not? has the suspension been setup with too much camber?

cheers if anyone can help quick... :approve:

i bet you're spigot ring out of the OZ wheel is stuck to the hub of the car

hyave the 15s got a big tyre profile on?

 

[f0xy]

the actual back of the wheel looks like its sitting flush with the hub, ive tightened everything up and the rubber of the tyre is just up against the shock and it wont move... if the spigot ring was there wouldnt that mean it would stick out more meaning it wouldnt catch?

16s = 195/45/16
15s = 185/55/15

:-S

That wouldn't make the tyre hit the shock though would it Fred?

That would mean you wouldn't be able to mount the Dynamique alloy fully on the hub so would rub on the arch if anything?

Hmm those tyre sizes are both the right size :S

 

[Fred@BTM]

no but it could make the wheel sit on the piss

is it on std suspension?

 

[f0xy]

fk coilovers..

 

[Fred@BTM]

ah right ok, should've said that intitally! you need 5mm spacers due to the offset of dynamic wheels

 

[f0xy]

jeez lol

luckily someones sorting me out some spacers going to collect now lol...

..might get a few looks with two dynamique and two superleggeras on though lol
