Hi,

I'm quite interested in these alloys wheel i've seen on flea bay.

http://http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182468821512?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

2 things, i've not seen these before what do you guys think? and Do you need to roll the arches to get these to fit or can you get away with any rubbing issues?

thanks

Actually, I can't remember if mine did or not now. I sold them and now run 17's which certainly rub but I have a memory like a sieve and can't actually remember about the 16's LOL

Im running 16's - 205/50/16 from memory - Yokohama AD08R's- They do catch the box like a bas**rd on right lock, and the odd scrape over a speed bump on the inner arch, but then its a track car so it rarely uses full lock or goes over bumps, so it doesnt cause me any issues.

For ref: 195/45/16 didnt rub at all.

I run 195-50-16 and they dont rub!
45 might be a slightly harsh ride it depends how much you want to feel the road!
if anything I think they'd catch the inner arch before the outer arch being 16's 17's catch everywhere then it's time for arch rolling!

and working Clicky

I have Rinjani's fitted with 205/40R17

The Rinjani's are 7,5 inch wide with ET31. Those fit only with at least 15mm spacers at the front and 20mm spacers at the rear.
