As above will much work have to be done to arches to fit a set of 16" 8j et30 wheels ona mk3, will be running a little bit of stretch?
-
Ive have none done and the backs are 9.. Just over half down on the coillies
-
Use 195/45 tyres and you should have plenty of room.

Back looks like it will be okay with some stretch

A touch of negative camber and stretch and you'll be sitting pretty.
-
Yh gunna stretch some tyres over them. How do you set the camber? Have no idea how as never owned wide enuff wheels before.
-
camber shims should do the job :smiley:

Cheers dude!. I'm gunna try them without camber first as I do a lot of miles and don't fancy going thru tyres fast.
-
Yeh that's fair enough man, you might find your get away with just stretch on the tyres :smiley:

Yh I think 195/45/16s should do it. If not, I think there might be someone local with an arch roller
-
they wheels look really nice what are they?
-
Camber won't wear tyres out more quickly if your toe is correct, it'll just wear unevenly but at the same rate.

Cheers dude. There fifteen52 snowflake rep's

Cheers bud, woulda loved the fifteen52s but at £700 I could never justify it

Yh makes sence. Surely it would wear out a bit quicker then no camber as more weight/ pressure is on one side of the tyre and not evenly across the whole tyre
-
yeah the more camber the faster your inside edge of the tyer will wear and less tracksion youl get. but sayin that you cant beat a bit camber :cool: lol
-
I reckon you should be all right mate, not much work to do...
It's gonna look nice!!!!!!!

Are they bigger versions of the old Mk1 Cab wheels??? They're having a bit of a Retro theme at the mo, someones doing the old Pirelli P-slots which i quite fancy as well?
Yours look great on a mk3 and i bet not many have got them yet!
