Here you go Samba,

OEM wheels are 7 x 17 ET 46

With the calculator below it shows that an 8" rim with an ET of 32 would have 1mm more clearance on the inner rim and poke out of the arch 27mm more than standard! That is a lot and would need camber mounts!

Nice on Hurdy :wink: Think i will pass on them wheels then. Although i have also been looking at those TSW wheels you posted up but they are also 8" wide so i guess i will be in the same boat? The outer rim on these are 1.5" so if a got a decent offset i could get away from camber mounts? But may just have to look for 7" wide.

Personally I wouldn't go with anything over 7.5" wide as I've yet to see an 8" wheel on the 6R that someone can truly say doesn't rub without resorting to camber mounts or arch pulling etc. If you're willing to go the extra mile to modify so the wheels will fit the all well and good, but there are plenty of awesome wheels out there at the right sizes. 8)

Good choice. I'd been thinking about that wheel a bit back, but the TDPR's were such good value off Blaade I couldn't refuse.

Or these i guess i am warming to the idea of black but not a solid black wheel. I do like the BBS CS in Silver but im not to keen on the way they have done the black version. If they had done it like the black borbet below maybe i would go BBS Black but what ya think of these borbets?
