You will need some hubcentric spacers if its only brushing the caliper 2 or 3mm should do the trick, have a look on ebay. Your tyre size should be fine, there will probably be a bit of stretch with that width though.

thank you kemix it is not brushing it though it is quite bad at the moment the tyres it has on are 205/50/r16 but my car is quite low so that is the reason im thinking about the 205/40/r16

iirc its a 5mm spacer you need with 9j Borbets on the front.

Ok, do you know what offset your wheels are?

Im using 5mm spacer on mine.

Unless he has the wrong offset wheels, I think they should be ET15 with the 5mm spacers iirc.

Ive got a 3mm spacer (you can't get these hubcentric as they are so small) and mine clear the caliper by a couple of mm and i have a 60/40 drop on springs and shocks.



My tyres are 215/40/16 and sit perfect but may got 205/40 next time.

Hope this helps.

Loving the red tech2 on borbets, I would take the insulation tape off, it will look alot cleaner
