In Reply to: cool,welcome to the board... about the wheels posted by DHoang on December 07, 2000 at 10:33:19:


did you need to use spacers to clear them from tie rods? if so, what size and brand ?

The stock rim offset was 18mm, the offset of the new rims is 30mm. I use H&R 15mm spacers, without the spacers the rim would just touch the tie rod, with the spacers I have about 14mm of clearance and no rubbing problems. The wheels fill out the fenders nicely without sticking out. I run 195/60 tires which are basically equal to the stock diameter.
