wheel question.

[kev8611]

I have the chance to buy a set of B.I.M Zeit 17 inch wheels.

Looking at sizes and offsets they are 7.5 et47 front and 8.5 et42 rear. Hub diameter is 73mm

Will i run into any issues with clearance on suspension etc? Ride height is standard rev 3 turbo although i do plan on fitting coils at a later date.

As for tyres im think 205 45 for front and 225 45 rear.

Hopefully i dont see any issues as the wheels will look awesome on the car

I'm pretty sure those fronts will rub on the suspension strut.

Offsets are pretty high, but should be fine with a 10-15mm bolt on spacer. My 7.5x17 et36 front wheels are pretty close to the suspension.

Tyres seem a little narrow too, you would be better with a 215/40 front and 235/40, 245/40 or 255/35 on the back

Great looking wheels though, well worth the effort in making them fit.
