So in theory it shouldn't rub?
It depends on the offset it's prob rubbing in the arches rather than the wing
So it will rub less with spacers but give you a wider front track
.................oh but I think you know that

I would not go any wider than 225 on the front, its the rears that need all the grip.

No size markings on them I could see ..riot68 wrote:Did you take the wheel off? Size markings will be stamped in the back, will take a look sat if rain behaves itself.
I'll have a look tomorrow, if not the weekend Mainly due to time and being foxed by a connector and those lovely handle surround piece 
Oh well, progress is progress(which is up for sale

No, just looked through the rim and a quick snoop underneath.
the offset will be there as well Looks like you have a rubber stopper missing. think I might have a spare

Nice work though mate, big improvement
Luckily the little bits I wanted to change on it are all the bits I'd already done on the old car (fate?) .. The amount of times I've taken a bumper off and on recently..! Magic Beans wrote:The amount of times I've taken a bumper off and on recently.
