wheel Dilema!!!!!

by **MX5Steve** » Sat, 15 Aug 2009 7:50 +0000

Ok took dellivery of my new Rota RB's

Heres a shot on the car

And heres the wheels jacked up to their approximate final position.

NOw heres the problem....

There 15 X 8 et 30 and will be running 205/50 and lets say they sit a little proud.....

So I've read over on nutz that 15x 8 with Et30 will fit with 205's but I cant for the life of me see how...... anyone running anything similar........

remember .. the top of the tyre will move in an inward direction relative to the bottom edge of the wing as the suspension is compressed.. so if you roll your arches you should def have room... in theory ;-)

I was gonna be a smart-arse and say that you're supposed to put the tyres on BEFORE you put the wheel on the car :mrgreen:

, but thought better of it.
Anyhow steve, they do look the dog's b...........
