Default Axe wheels

Hi all ,

I am in the process of buying some AXE EX3 rims for my three door and was wondering if the Yokohama advan neova AD08R 215/40/17 tyres will give me any rubbing issues?
The ride height is as standard using konis.

The wheel info is as follows-

17inch diameter
7.5inch wide
offset-35

Thanks for all help.

Cheers.

These will not clear the callipers on a 3dr matey.
I originally ordered a set and they don't fit so had to send them back.

DO NOT ORDER THEM

I have changed my wheel order, Thank you very much martyhomer01 for the heads up. I have changed my order for a set of Team Dynamics IMOLA in Graphite satin finish 17inch/ ET37/7.5 wide/PCD 108 x 4.

Has anyone fitted these? Or had any problems on fitting them?


Thanks for all your input.

the above should fit fine but I prefer 3dr cossies with staggered width and offset.

As a rough guide only.

Front et35 7.5"/8"
Rear et25 8/8.5"

This will fill the arches nicely without having to faff with spacers etc.
