Oh okay, I thought it meant i had to extend 53mm to reach the guards...ahhh i think its makin sense now. But yeah this was all testing on 8.5", didnt try the 9's

[dylan8]

mickey ran 9s on his from memory.

[browndizzle]

on the rear? do you know if you had to camber or anything?

[dylan8]

Yep rear.
Not sure about camber, if he did there wasnt much from memory.
Trying to find his build thread but i think it got deleted
had 205/45s stretched over them.

correction. here it is. Have a gork through there, im sure it lists all the specs somewhere

[browndizzle]

Oh thanks! yeah i'll have a geez

[browndizzle]

just had a look, he specified his audi wheels were 17x8.5 et45 with 15mm adapters on the front and 25mm on the rear, so if i was to get a 8.5", the need for spacers would depend on the offset? and because these ccw wheels are et25 on the front and et15 on the rear, they're goin to sit differently to mickey's, regardless of the fact they are the same width?

[dylan8]

so if thats the case that mickey had 8.5et30 F and 8.5et20r
If your CCW wheels are 8.5et25f and 8.5et15r, your fronts will sit in 5mm more (meaning 5mm closer to the strut (can be fixed with a 5mm spacer if u think its needed)), and rear will sit out 5mm more then mickeys (also give you 5mm more clearance to the strut)
Im sure you could specify what offset you want if your getting them custom made.

those were his audi wheels, He did have 16x9 and 16x7.5 iirc Schmidt modernlines at one stage (which were much nicer imo)

[browndizzle]

Ahhhhh I seeee I think the offsets the CCW rep will be the ones I go with, sounds to me like they're the right choice. Thanks for all your help dylan.
