Wheel advice

[mark-cupra]

Got my new wheels about a week ago, ronal turbos which have an offset of et28 and my standard cupra alloys are 38 is it? ive got 20mm spacers on the back and they are just catching on the inside of the arch when going over bumps, i actually bent my arches in a bit when i first put them on as i lowered it aswell and had to raise it back up again

what options have i got?
would putting 15mm spacers on fix it or having my arches rolled or something?

ive actually considered selling them already cuz they've been a ballache so far lol

i dont think 15mm's gonna fix it mate....
i would say higher it or sell the wheels

 

[mark-cupra]

yh im thinking along those lines, should of just got d90s like i wanted in the first place lol

 

[olvie]

ha i dont think you have any other choice mate hmm d90s ftw

 

[cupra-gaz]

if your just catching the inner lip of your arch then you could get them rolled. got any pic on how they sit?

 

[mark-cupra]

is this one ok?

What tyre size are they? They look pretty chunky. Could be one of the problems.

 

[olvie]

i thought the same thing might be diff if you had smaller profile

 

[Ravey_Cupra]

Run smaller spacers or lower profile on tyre or stretched

Im on 9J rears with 205/45/16 tyres with minimal rubbing even though im almost as low as can go

Currently at ET22.3 but im adding another 10mm spacer onto the rear for added poke

 

[mark-cupra]

theyre 195/45/15s i could do with borrowing some smaller spacers so i know as they arent cheap and dont want to waste the money on some more, i dont want to use them without any spacers as it will look rubbish lol, think ill just put the original alloys back on for now while i figure out what do

165 50 15 tyres.

This is how you want to sit...

This is with the 8J's all round with 195/45/16 :

9J's on the rear with 205/45/16 :

9J's on my drive - measure 10" from lip to lip :

Just realised those pics are on my old suspecsion setup, im now on AP coilovers with less that a fingers gap between arch and tyre

^^^^^^ automotive p0rn lol

I had my 8.5j twists on the rear with 35mm Spacers and had to go back to 25mm due to major rubbing.

Ive got very little rubbing plus ive got 15mm spacers coming this week for the rear so will be running 40mm spacers along with 9J rims once ive put my 30mm adaptors on front and the 25mm on the rear

I have no rear seats so dont have to worry about the rear being loaded up

Once the added pokeage is sorted Ill get some new pics up

Adapters and Spacers Eeeek I nearly lost a wheel 2 weeks ago and everything was threadlocked and torqued up aswell.

I think I'm gonna go for 195 40 17's on the rear and try again with the 35mm adapters

 

[mark-cupra]

that looks sweet on d90s, theres a few options of what i could do but i dont know which one go for and they all cost quite a bit of money and if it isnt the right option i pick then itll be a waste lol, are your arches rolled ravey cupra?

 

[ndbrgr]

How are you getting no rubbing with that? My wheels rubbed so bad when they were like this that I rubbed the paint off the lip of my inner archh

How my 8J D90s will sit. Perfectly flush.

Adaptors and spacers on the front at the min with no issues..im anal about checking torques every week or 2 so know they arent coming off, also replaced all bolts when putting the D90s on

What width rears you got of twists?

Cheers..most of what ive done has been trial and error to get the look i want which is why ive just spent more money on additional spacers lol

Not rolled at the minute but will be soon

Ive got nice stretch on the tyres along with no rear seats and stiff as hell AP coilovers, heard a little scrubbing on some country roads other day but i was driving it very hard chasing a bike lol

8.5j rears
7's on the front I'd put a pic on but photobucket's on it's arse ATM
