Fitting my wheels.....

[lemond]

Is that an E class coupe in the background?..... Well made car .... not like the Audi

So going out 10mm from Offset of 45 to 35 is sort of countered by going in by 12.5mm.... in effect you have widened the wheel by 1 inch (it will stick out by 1 inch more). I'm sure I've read where 235 on this set up(offset) catch... maybe it was the Audiforum (US one).

Nice wheels though... tough to clean!

Just tried a 5mm spacer and it fits.... just No catching on the brake caliper... Got about 1/2mm clearance.

So i'm going to change the 10mm ones to 5mm ones.

Rears don't need any spacers, but should i fit them anyway to keep the track distances the same ???

Erm... now without going to look at the calipers on mine this may be a dumb comment, but if they are one sided things like my merc has (and I think they are then check to see if clearance is OK with new pads and also new disks (if the caliper moves as I'm thinking)....If I'm talking 5hyte then I'm sorry!

New discs and pads fitted about 3 months ago
