You really need to ring them and ask.

Phone Rimstyle they are good with spacers that you need for the rim you want

In short, yes of course they will fit if you get the right stud pattern. mine are et38 and clear the caliper by about 4-5mm. Get them at et30 put them on then measure the top of the tyre to the edge of the arch, get your spacers. Lower ET you will need to roll the inside arch lip and have stretched tyres so it doesn't go through your side wall.

He needs spacers to clear the front calipers.

And you can only needier what spacer you need if you have new pads.


I'll say it again, ring rimstyle!
