BIG wheels

[DazzyA]

Would 10 x 17 et 20 fit on the back with 235 tyres?
cheers

Depends how you define "fit"

If you are going for the "euro" look with the wheel sticking out 2in past the fender lip with a tiny tire strecthed across the wheel.. then yes, it will fit great.

[DazzyA]

just seen a set going cheap on ebay, 8.5 front 10 rear, 235 tyres all round. Look nice.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... Track=true

[stevetigger]

There fat, but I dont think they will fit!

[DazzyA]

I think you're right, tempting for the right money, but big dissapointment if they don't.

[TW166Y]

you'll have problems fella with them. dont even think about lowering it unless you have coilovers... and then you wouldnt get away with it i dont think

[stevetigger]

Buy um, try um, if they dont fit, sell um


Cheap enough to do that!

[DazzyA]

Yeah, bad idea, I just enquired about shipping, thinking with the heart and not hte head!

[stevetigger]

Thought he said 60 euros??

[Kos]

they will fit...........just

hammer and coilovers needed but they will look tough!!

[eun]

they are staying quite low at the moment so they may be
tempting for ya

[Kos]

me aswell!!!

[DazzyA]

I think the 60 euro's is Germany only, I won a set of 16" original Hartge before Xmas from a guy in Germany and they were over a 100. Never replied to my messages though
I've only just learnt my way round the engine bay, I'm clueless about suspension and all that "wobbly" stuff under neef!
Could always get someone else to do the hard work, any offers?

[DazzyA]

what are coilovers anyway.

[Kos]

suspension set up with adjustable spring platform you you can raise and lower the ride hight, basically race spec !!

[nav786]

i think these may just fit, but you they will rub on the arch lip badly. you would have to get the lip flared for them to work. i think they will not hit the strut but be very close.

[DazzyA]

coilovers sound expensive, but proper cool.
I take it a body shop could do the arches?

That is cheap, you can't get them delivered over hear for 30 notes, well played.

I think the wider wheels need a lower et to even them up abit.

[DazzyA]

Just got the cost for shipping, 110 euro's. If I can bag em for Ԛ£150 I'm gonna go for it, maybe.

[nav786]

the et is low as the wheel is wider and needs to miss the strut, mine are et15, and have ab out one inch from the strut, so a 10" wheel will be very very close. it will rub the arch lip bad, so this deinately will need to be flared.

[DazzyA]

What size are your's nav 9"? Price has just shot up on these anyway. I don't wanna spend more the 300 for a set with good tyres.

[nav786]

yeh mine are 9"
