Title: Wheel Fitment Help!!
Post by: samg77 on December 02, 2013, 05:41:18 pm

Hi, I've found a set of wheels for my Edition 30 but am unsure whether they're going to fit!

They're 19 x 8.5 front and 9.5 rear et32, i'm planning to be low on coilovers and stretched tyres, probably 215/35 and 225/35.

Any help would be appreciated :happy2:

Cheers MC71, did have a look through that, very good write up but was really after someone who had ran similar spec wheels to know if they had any problems or someone thats really clued up on fitment as i really don't want to be selling them on straight away!

I've run that setup before but with an 45 et. You will scrape like f*ck on the rear and they'll stick out load, and you'll probably struggle with the fronts dude.
