not sure borbet's are gonna fit
« on: 03 February 2007, 11:51 »
well, i have been speaking to a wheel and tyre place about some Borbet A's, now they can suply some but they are 7.5x16 with an offset of 20 or 9x16 with an offset of 15. i dont want the 9's but i am not sure i can get either size to fit, what do you guys think? looks like i may have to get some other wheels instead! :cry:

I'd say it must be possible, they're a popular golf wheel. Not sure about any work required... but hey, if you ain't scrubbin', you ain't dubbin! :)

lol fair one, but i have spoken to the wheel and tyre place and i think i will get a set of Ronal LS instead, they are 15" by 7.5 with an offset of 25 and they will come with 195/45/15 tyres which should stop any real rubbing problems! they are also a little cheaper than the borbet's and look a little like bbs so its all good!  :smiley:

The LS will look good. 9 wide and ET15 would have been serious work!!
