Guest supra_leeky Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Just tried to fit my new alloys today. Unfortunately the UK Spec brakes seem to be too big and touch the spokes leaving approx a 2cm gap between the wheel and the hub Also...just to make things extra difficult the bolts coming out of the hubs are too short.....so even if i popped down to halfrauds and got some spacers i wont have enough bolt to actually put the nuts on So anyway been speaking to a guy i know who has an mr2 (same pcd) and he told me i can get the spacers he has which are approx 1" thick and have bolts coming out of them. The thing im worried about is the wheels rubbing my arches... .....anyone know if this is going to happen? Running stock suspension height/shocks and will be changing the front 235/45/17's for 255/40/17's ......rears changed from 255/40/17's to 275/40/17's... I really hope im not going to have problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
