Anyone have 17 inch/8inch wide/offset 35 compromotive Mo s on their 3 door and do you have any problems with arch/kit clearance on the front?
I ask this as I have to decide whether to put 7 inch wide on the front or 8inch?


Thanks for any help.

You'll probably need some trimming i've got compomotive 8 x 17 ET33 on mine with 215/40/17 on the front and I had to trim the plastic arches and wing lip back so they don't catch.

As above mine used to have 8's and the plastic trim has been trimmed to stop rubbing, now run 7.5's all round.

 

As above mate but if you use some good coilovers the problem isnt as bad..


cheers danny

 

Decided to go with 7inch 6 spoke mo,s with 215/40/17's on the front hopefully this will help with rubbing plastic trim?and 8inch on the rears, not sure what tyre size on rears?? Any ideas?

why not go 7.5 instead of 7?

 

Compromotive don't do the six spoke in 7.5 unfortunatly. T

 

Anyone know whether I will be able to get 235/40/17 tyres on the rear of a 3 door that has 6 spoke Comp mo's that are 8inch wide? the car does not have coil-overs, it has koni's?

Thanks for any help. T

 

They do fit mate but your better off with 245/35/17's

Cheers , when you say they fit is that without any trimming of plastic trim etc??


Cheer s for info. T

 

Mine are 7.5 ET30 - rolled and trimmed

 

You will have to do some trimming, if you just want a straight no mess fit you want 215/40/17's
