Title: Do ClassiX wheels fit over the NQSBBK?
Post by: Biano44 on December 06, 2013, 09:24:13 am

Hi Guys,

I'm seriously considering winter tyres, so do any of you guys know if the standard ClassiX alloy wheels fit over my NQSBBK?

I would try it myself but the wheels are in storage and it would be a right faf to go and get them out.

Ta in advance. :happy2:

Not sure on the NQSBBK but I'm running them with the full S3 setup.

Thanks Matto.

I am aware that you run them over the S3's.....I have a freshly refurbed set of 18" wheels that I could get tyres for but 17" tyres seem to be cheaper and I could sell the 18"s in their Fresh condition.
So, if the ClassiX fit over the NQSBBK its got to be a win/win!

I don't think they will fit without spacers.
My guess is you will need a 8-10 mm spacer (that wouldn't be much of a problem considering the ClassiX have 54 as offset).

Thanks Rex.

I had a sneaking suspicion that I would need the dreaded spacers.

Why dreaded?
I used (still using) all kinds of spacers on and off the track and no issues. Just buy hubcentric H&R spacers (with bolts) and you'll be fine.
I even have 20mm spacers (per side) for my winter setup (I need clearance for the nqsbbk on my 16 inch Mugello rims).
