Oke ordered some new high gloss black Pro Race 1.2 in 17" with Toyo R888they are 7.5x17 with 15 offset How do they look in the arches, sit flush? do i need to use 10mm spacer to get a more aggresive style? Will they clear my Brembos without spacers? can anyone shed a light, since my wheelarches are pulled on the rear, i think i need to use spacers on the rear to get a flush look... thanx for the replies ( if there will be some , lol) |

Think they will look ok Deffo won't need 10mm spacers, that would make them ET5, coupled with the 7.5 inch width would be out too far. What size tyres have you ordered? Mine are 7x16 ET15 with 205/45 tyres, I do get the odd moment where they touch the rear arches on fast bumpy roads  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

Stretched look to the tyres then?Would have thought you would have gone 215's with 7.5 inch rims?  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

I have 205s on my 7.5 and they definitely don't look stretched. How ever 7.5 are pretty pointless as iv found out as you can't get 215s on the back without scrubbing the inner wheel arch. 7s with more off set and 215s would be better. ________________________________________ 1997 ph1 bianca GTI6 - The looker1996 ph1 Sigma GTI6 - Dead  1999 Red Rallye - The Daily 2005 Nissan Navara D40 - Family car 1968 Mustang Coupe - The dirty little secret Put ya foot down, put ya foot down we'll loose em easy! |

There won't be any stretch, the same rules don't apply with semi slicks for some reason.My 225/40/17's are proper rubber dingy's ________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo = Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |
