et48 will need spacers. also...what is the bore?

 

[Sisson]

the rims will sit to far in the arches and more than likely scrub the brakes,

also with them being 8 Inches wide, they will either scrub on your arches or your suspension,

ideally you want 7.5 x 17 with an offset of 35-43mm, pcd 5 x 100

hope this helps,

My wheels are Kei Racing Force 10's - They have an ET of 45 and they hit my calipers I Needed 3mm spacers and they only just clear the brakes by 1mm. Best thing to do is to try one on your front wheel with a 5mm spacer perhaps (make sure its the front as you have the biggest calipers there)

Wheels for a 1.4, so smaller calipers, maybe a 45 offset might fit them, but defo need spacers with ET48

id lower it with decent coilovers before id even think of 17's mate!! especially with 8" wide alloys! It'll look like a tractor!
