8 inch rotas on a twingo, rubbing eck

 

[oscar]

not exactly luke, it would depend on offsets to the hub and inner / outer reduce clearances and increased poke. 8'' wheels could be fine, however it's not going to be ideal. 8'' rotas are usually 0 offset which wouldn't fit in the arch. you'd have to introduce huge amount of camber even when the offset is correct to not get pulled by the police


hmmmm hopefully you're not going for a stanced thing steve? not cool

I looked at them remember ET20 8" so another 20mm in spacers etc

 

[gtsteve]

I think they 8 anyway that's what he said. I'll probably go for a 40 mm drop to improve handling and lose a bit of arch gap. I've had it with the days of scraping speed bumps. A recent car even scraped on uneven road surfaces was rediculous.

 

[gtsteve]

Oh and windy d's

 

[gtsteve]

oscar I think these are 0 offset how much poke is there going to be

 

[oscar]

Inner Clearance: 13 mm more
Outer Position: 63 mm further out than where the current gt wheels sit, each side ..

 

[oscar]

although mines are slipstreams, they are 15x7 with a 40 offset, 17mm less inner clearance no rubbing on full lock with 9 mm or something like that more poke over standard wheels. tbh the fronts have a nice poke on them already, i'm going to get some 10mm or therabouts for the fronts and then 16mm's for the rears and that'll be perfect to sit flush with the arches


there are some 7x15's on ebay just now i think. they need a refurb

Surely you'd need spacers?

 

[gtsteve]

I seen them like.might make a offer on them. Im going to try these on. He reckons they aren't o offset :/

 

[LC]

Only come in ET20/0

 

[gtsteve]

so I might be onto a winner if they are et 20
