You'd be better off getting some 5x100 Borbets! Your current ones have an offset of ET20 which means with 20mm adapters your wheels will stick out of the arch by a mile!

To be safe yes, et0 is not going to fit without major arch work (making them wider)

So 20mm  spacers on a ET20 = ET0.

and with ET0 i will require some major arch work?!?
Bummer, best get them resold haha

i reckon you can get them to fit! I'm going to run my 9J borbets with 15mm spacers, so offset will be et5.

would look awesome if you fitted them, bit of archwork and some stretched rubber :cool:

Sorry to dig this up, but i collected the wheels & im in love!!!
They are being refurbished as we speak.

I have found some 15mm Thk FK adapters so how many mm of poke will i still have from the arches on a standard suspension set up?

Thanks Mike.
