Alloys + Spacers
« on: 08 March 2009, 19:47 »
Im planning on putting my merc alloys on the car soon
Size 16" 7.5" wide and offset 51
Was gonna buy 25mm adaptors giving them an offset of 26
What I was wondering is could i put 30mm adaptors on the rears making it 21et and have no issues of rubbing?

What pcd are these? I presume you need adapters to make them fit anyway. So how does that effect the ofset?

the adaptors are 25mm so they space them out at the same time, it would also depend on how much i lower the car wouldn't it?

My merc wheels are 7.5" wide 16's, ET 41 with 25mm spacers.

Had to have all 4 arches cut right back underneath to stop scrubbing :undecided:
