205s will fit on a 7" wide wheel no problems.Its the pcd and offset of the wheel that is the issue You need 4x108 with an offset of 15mm or there abouts. ________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo = Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |

Stamping on the rear will read ET?? that figure is the offset you need 15-18 if the number is higher minus 15 and thats what thickness spacer you'd needI.E if the wheel reads ET35 - 15 = 20 a spacer 20mm thick is needed ________________________________________ All South Wales Members Click HereTeam Supercharged Black RALLYE ™ (Click Here for Build Project) MY EBAY ITEMS 07943066306 |

Anything around the front bolt area? Generally Ford wheels need spacers - there will be the spacer size info on here somewhere and get hubcentric ones.________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

If they were ET38-42 and 7J wide you'd need 25mm spacers.The spacers you have might have been ok had the wheels been less than 7J wide but as it stands you need an extra 5mm it seems. ________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

Is there much clearance on the outer arch? If so you it may just be a case of a slightly bigger spacer (23-25mm) If the wheel has a few milimetres of clearance on the outer arch, which being 7J I imagine it should have.  Unfortunately without knowing the correct wheel dimensions it is just trial and error  Personally I would not buy wheels that are not specific fit for that car/model, certainly not for a completely different make of car, like in your case as it is just aggro  Good luck with it though  ________________________________________ I Live for the 306TEAM CHERRY PINK RALLYE 2008 BMW ///M 320d |

Spacers are not ideal either - more to go wrong (e.g. longer bolts under more strain, or not enough thread bite using standard bolts) and can have unintended consequences. Best to use wheels that fit it properly. Safer too. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |
