Are these a bad idea?

The way you have to bolt them on first, then bolt your wheels to the spacers seems a bit strange.

I have never seen ones like that before. I had Eibach ones that needed the longer bolts.

Iv got new wheels with a ET35 off set. They are 5mm in from normal wheels so effectivlly only spaced 15mm each side on the back.

Thing is iv got 2 inches more width than standard wheels but no scrubbage on the back, tiny bit on the front where i havent modified the arch lining yet.


9sorry if i sound grumpy anyone. Only just woke up and couldnt sleep!!!)

I see! I changed my wheels for the Ibiza Cupra R Seat Sport OZ Super T's and they scrub out on the back badly. I'm not sure what off set they are though. I might have to get abit of arch modification done and see what happens!

(no worries dude, i wouldn't of said you were grumpy anyway!)

(thats alright then!!!)

Its all in the offset, should be fairly easy to find out what offset they are. Im surprised they scrub though as i run 16x8J all round and mine sits farily low.

Sure a bit of modification will sort it!!

ET35 on the Seat Sport Rims

they rubbed on mine that's why i changed them to an ET37, no probs without spacers but a bit on hard cornering and bumps with a 15mm spacer

Reccomended my many by the looks of it, It does make the back end stick so well. I was pushing mine past the limit of where it used to start to go in the dry when it was wet on sunday at stuck a treat.

Pirreli (spelling!!!) P-Zero Nero reccomended as well!!!
