    HELP IS AT HAND!!!

    Say you were running std vw fit wheels 15 x 6 et35 and wanted 15 x 7 et28 the difference would be

    Inner Clearance: -6mm

    Outer Position (position of the outside edge of the wheel) +20mm

    So we can gather that if a protrusion of 20 mm is still legal it is ok to order said wheels. If not start fabricating!

    I do recall I cut those springs down, look for the oxy marks on them.

    Cut springs are fine if you know what you're doing!
