I cant see them just bolting on myself... so very close to strut (coil overs on mine)

do you think 7.5x17 will be ok on the front with a et37 offset because i just looked for the wheels i want and they dont make them in a 8x17 only 7.5 and 9.

yep bolt straight on 8x17 no problems and only as close to the strut as my 7x17's were. no difference in driving either. no spacers, hell they are far enough out as it is no need for any spacers. ill get the offset for you all. but tere inside the wheel so wheel will need to come off to check

thats real good i really shouldn't have any problems with 7.5 then. keskin dont make kt5's in 8x17 so 7.5 it is, i'll send some pics off my car when they on, get some pics of yours on the site ricky bet them kt3's look the bollocks

for everyone interested my keskin KT3 - front wheels are 8x17 are ET30 (with 205/40/17 tyres) and rear wheels are 9x17 ET25 (215/40/17 tyres) not catching and full lock is fine. no spacers needed and they are level with the bodywork so not sticking out which would fail an MOT

will post pics up soon

Ordered my tyres now.. 235-40-17 in a couple different makes.
Will get mine mounted ASAP. 8x17 ET28's on mine CXR lightweight Compomotives

Mines for performance not looks so I need maximum tyre to ground contact, not stretched euro show look.

Still hard to believe no touching when mine have occasionally touched inner arches on narrower wheels.

seeing is believing tho when I get my own mounted.

here's a mk2 ibiza with wider track and 7.5J x16 wheels in ET27 sticking out

i have 8s on the front also. though , as you say i had to mess with offsets by machinging the porsche adapters. the porsche rears were 9 1/2 and the rim did fit on, but there was no room left for a tyre!!! just a word , dont go bigger than a 205x40x17 at the rear as itll foul the skirt. i probably run a lot lower than you will be bill.
