Default esc cos wheels on a4x4 saph ??????

i know esc cos wheels are et25 and saph are et35 but..........

standard escos wheels will rub on a lowered saph. so i'm guessing that 17's or 18's with a et 25 will rub. saying that my mate had a slammed saph on et15 peugeot fitment 17" rims and they only rubbed under heavy braking on front. if your not afraid of a bit trimming i'd say they will go on. 18's will be a struggle tho.

what size wheels you thinking about???

If you are watching them imolas on ebay Matt - you can get the centers machined down by 10mm to give the correct offset

Not if the offset is wrong.

just cos there 8 inch wide,does that mean they stick out an extra inch.

Could go in an extra inch with the different offset.

you cant just go skimming the mounting faces off wheels. most wheels dont even have 20mm thickness on the mounting area. my kahns couldnt be skimmed because of this. its not safe. end up cracking and falling off.
