Are these the correct size for the ED30?

Dotz aren't bad and are relatively cheap. I quite like this wheel, but the anodised finish isn't to my taste. Even this will stick out 6mm, but shouldn't have any rubbing issues. :smiley:

As long as you stick with an 8" or 7.5" alloy and keep to an offset of 45 to 51 , you should be okay :happy2:

I quite like them, any one here running them? pictures? Ta

No-one on here has the DOTZ alloys fitted, but I have seen them on a few MKV's and they look very good.

on a lowered ed 30 pescara s with 10mm spacers rub the back arches they did on mine and on dan paynes with my wheels, so i would think you may have problems with these

I agree it depends how much you lower it and how though, it seems to be pot luck what ride height you get with just springs. there are qiute a few people on here with the same springs but completely different ride height. Also the weight of the wheel comes into play, but at 10 or 12 mil futher out the rubbing would only be very slight and occasional in my opinion.  :happy2:
