Hey Guys, need some of your expertise and opinions please!
As you can see in the photo, I desperately need some alloys to fill my custom arches!
I would like 17's but the real help I need concerns the width/offset of the wheels. The rears obviously need to sit out more (preferably about an inch and a half) so the wheels sit either flush with the outside of the arch or tucked up just inside them. How do I go about this? My current wheels are 14" with 195/60 tyres (standard offset- 49 I THINK) (93' L cesaro) and I think the 'common' application for 17s on my car would be 205/40/17 with 45-49mm offset - HOWEVER I dont think these would do the job, so do I get wider wheels, ie. 7.5-8 inches wide OR reduce the offset so they sit out more? Or a combo of wider wheels and slightly less offset?
I do not want to get excessive tramlining (which I dont think I can avoid really to be honest) but need those wheels to stick out!
Would anyone recommend spacers for my problem? The car is lowered 40mm on Gmax springs and dampers.
Any input from you guys will help me loads.....
P.s the car is a work in progress so please dont cuss it :beer:
