Alloy wheel clearance

[Oggy997]

Morning folks, Ania's van has lost 3 tyres in 7 months and at £160 a tyre, it's getting a bit long in the tooth.

She's running 19" wheels (cheap chinese crap) and I want to buy her some 18"s - and I'm thinking some TD pro race 1.2.
The problem I'm faced with, is she is running aftermarket brakes from Forge Motorsport, which do state 17" or bigger alloys, however I seem to remember threads on here previously when running the Brembo Kits on 1*2's that some alloys foul and some dont.

This makes me slightly worried that if I drop £1k on alloys and tyres, there's a risk they may not fit...... So how do I ensure they do?

There's a guy selling some, with tyres, 3.5hrs away, but of course he doesn't reply to any messages, which is s**t, as I'd have been up there today gash in hand ready to do a buy if they fit.

Paying with your gash? bold.

Sorry no real help.

Best gash price.....

Bricks & Mortar alloy shops dont seem to be a thing round here.

Can't help with advice, but is the guy selling them on FB ? If yes, the message might go in spam and he won't see if . Might be worth sharing the link so that we can send him a message if so.

Ebay.

She's pissed me off, so I'm not buying her them any more.

Cheers.

Team dynamics are good for fitting over brakes especially if you get a size over what thy claim

Easiest way is to buy some and test fit. If not you can always sell them on
