wheels spacers and tyres question

Post by warrmr »

ok i have a set of ATS cups 15x7 ET20 they need spacers on the front for them to fit peroperly so how do i go about mesuring up for teh spacers. where should i go about getting them from.


next question is on stretched tyres. i want a slight stretched look so what would 175/50/15 or 165/50/15 look like on a set of 7" wide rims.

just guessing here but I reckon you won't need em - if you are going to fit stretch tyres to it it'll fill the arches out nicely and unless you silly drop it - slamed to the floor kinda drop it shouldn't rub.......

Don't quote me but 18mm further out should be easily coped within the std arches if you are stretching the tyres

i only need spacers on the front cos the spokes catch on the calipers the rears fit perfect. they will only be small spacers. but it still needs them never the less.

test fit on the rear slightly outside of the arches but perfect.
