Wouldn't that make it taller than stock? Might tuck nice though....


I had an inch of poke on mine before camber (your situation is a little different to mine). All you need is camber, that's the only way you'll get clearance. The only option for tyres is 205/40, nothing more, nothing less.

Nice wheels

I whore this link:
Online Wheel & Tyre Fitment calculator. Offset, Tyre stretch and Rolling Radius calculator

[rayray086]

The amount of stretch would also factor into the actual rolling diameter!

Check it on willtheyfit.com, unless I typed the numbers in wrong lol, they appear taller. But that was compared to my stock wheels.

So how much is considered safe for grinding off carriers/calipers? Not trying to hijack the thread or anything but I just measured everything up for my RS and I need 6mm more clearance up the front to clear the brakes, would need to both grind the carrier and the caliper. Thinking I can probably do it, there will be a decent bit of metal left, but it seems pretty dodgy. I haven't bought lips for them yet so I don't have the poke problem if I go with spacers, but I'd rather not, they would sit perfectly the offset they are, just clearing the strut, meaning I can go realllly wide

Brake delete for fitmunt.
