[quote="FingerZ!"]I have the opportunity of buying some escort cossie rims for my sapphire cossie - the tyres on the rims are 225/45/16

had that size on my saff and ONLY had to have the front arches rolled due to them clipping very slightly.

ps I wouldn't use spacers on them rims as they stick out far enough and all the stress on the wheel studs albit they ARE very close to the caliper(2w/d)

pps the ONLY way that they could hit the calipers would be due to either wheels are buckled or the wheel bearings are knackered.
