The wheel offset will have an effect on what tyre will fit

can u specify an ofset when u order the wheels then?i thought it was just one ofset for each type of car??

cossie can

I have a 4x4 saff running 215/35/18 yoko paradas, I havent touched the arches yet,but im using coilovers.
my car has et25 offset(esccos)so they fill thearches,but as yours is 2wd your offset is different i believe.

my saff was on the Bailey stand at ford fair.

Hello mate i have a 4x4 saff with Konis on -25 mm i have 8x18 MOs on mine the offset is 35 and they have got 215-35-18s on the only mod i had to do was roll the front arches.

so would i not be able to get away with 225/35?

is there someone that would know this??Like a tuner etc etc

DOO

i got 225/35 on mine just need to knock up the front spring cup about 5 mm with a hammer sounds nasty but is nothing TBH to stop the wheel catching got konis fitted to mine with a 25mm drop

Luckly did not have to touch the archs as mine was rolled from new as rousesport came with 225/50 15 tyres

cheers mate that makes things a lot clearer, i got my mo's in the post today, they are beautiful and i love em already! l

so is this something i could do at home if all i have to do is hammer the springs upwards?? I got koni's too so hopefully they sould still go on, would i need to do this on all 4 springs as i got a 2wd??
