Right I'm looking at some wheels with the ET of zero will I need spacers so they fit ??

No, you may need to roll the arches depending on their other measurements.

With a ET 0 you will need roll the arches or have some streched tyres. And a play with ride hight.

**Slam Wagon** · 22-01-2013, 11:28 AM

What height is the car and what width are the wheels? 3 door or 5 door?

TomLum · 22-01-2013, 12:43 PM

I'm at et 0 down around 50mm with stretch tires and had to roll my arch lips.

Jukie88 · 22-01-2013, 05:13 PM

It's a 5 door and it's lowered 60mm

**Sambarker** · 22-01-2013, 05:13 PM

What width wheels?

**Poodle** · 22-01-2013, 05:15 PM

And the width of the wheels/tyres? Guessing you'll probably struggle to roll the arches enough as it is...

**Slam Wagon** · 22-01-2013, 06:14 PM

You going to have to be careful of the door shuts, had to get mine re welded.

puglove · 22-01-2013, 06:23 PM

As above. You need to find out what J the wheel is

Jukie88 · 22-01-2013, 11:15 PM

15 x 8.25

**Poodle** · 23-01-2013, 08:02 AM

Definitely be a challenge to fit those matey.

**Niall** · 23-01-2013, 09:12 AM

Moved to correct section

cwspellowe · 23-01-2013, 09:17 AM

8.25" hey? XXR's by any chance?

Your main concern on a 5 door is going to be the rear door shuts, they'll be sitting actually on the wheels so need chopped out the way

**Slam Wagon** · 23-01-2013, 11:43 AM

What size tyres are you running? Ive got 15x 8 et-20 185/45/15 tyres and i dont know how much drop. Ive had to properly roll and flair the arches and get the door shuts re welded. Few pics in here http://306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-4281.html doesnt really show how much the arches are flaired.

Jukie88 · 23-01-2013, 05:45 PM

I've not got the wheels yet but if I do I'll be getting the lowest profile as humanly possible

**Slam Wagon** · 23-01-2013, 06:28 PM

Still going to need some arch work to fit. Lower the profile the more chance of damaging the wheels on potholes etc

Jukie88 · 23-01-2013, 07:43 PM

I want concave wheels but the only 4x108 is et0 it's a pain in the ass !!! And I really don't want to do arch work I've done enough to this car lol

**Slam Wagon** · 23-01-2013, 08:34 PM

Where abouts are you? Maybe someone local to test fit wheels?

Jukie88 · 24-01-2013, 04:10 PM

I'm in Plymouth Devon

puglove · 24-01-2013, 07:09 PM

Same styles as XXR but do 4x108 in ET 35
