New Wheels and Tyres

Post by Pete&Matt »

After a lot of yes and no's we bit the bullet and got the Compomotive ML's in the 15x7" with an ET20 offset and avon CR500's in 195X45 15's

Very nice looking wheels and tyres! The rears fit straight on with no issues, the front however needs some fettling to get the clearence's right!

It's looking good , same wheels as mine , just 5mm closer into the chassis. I used 15 et offset and 205 tyres.
I just love the Stylus but she keeps swallowing £££ !

Great post Matt, just calculated that my wheels will be 6mm more inboard then yours, but being 6J they still give more clearance on the inside.
yours: 14"x7J ET20, mine 13"x6J ET13

So now I can start cleaning the wheels and painting and put tyres on. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

doesn't matter for offset, so you took the size of Rob then instead of default 14"

Tim was offering 15" as standard anyway (when you could buy from him).
