Two new tyres + 20 mm Spacers fitted, most excellent :)


Looks so much better with the wheels pushed out to fill those arches!

Easist way for spacers is use a straight edge floor to arch and measure from the rim lip out and see what it would take allowing for any tyre size.
it depends on width and offset ....measurement is the easiest sure fire way :thumbsup:

I would possibly wait till the tyres are on and then measure.
You can use the rim to gauge it but the tyre wall may stick out I would still use a straight edge and measure back to the most protruding surface and space according to clearance its not an easy thing to guess as the wheel offset dictates wheel position et 41 is stock but a 7.5j rim will be different in position to an 8.5j ...
Its a minefield I'm afraid measuring is defo the best way to get it right and buy once.
