wheel spacing advice

[garymillscab]

i have lenso dtm mesh alloys they have stopped making this type and the only wheel i could find was a five stud how can i get round this? i have been told that the 4 to 5 stud conversion plates are 20mm thick would this cause my tyres to scrub. the wheels are 215/17 and i the offset is et35 the car is 1990 318 cab lowered 40mm

well if you work the arches and drop to a 205 profile with 20mm converters they should just about fit under the arches..

If they still catch you can shave a little off the mounting face of the wheel to give a higher offset and move the wheel in a couple more mm..

any more suggestions or is this the only way!

20mm spacers will make the offset about et15 which I think will not fit with those size wheels. Unless you can find some 10 to 15mm spacers, or get some custom made. I'm not sure if it would affect the strength of them, maybe get them made from titanium?
