could you see this being a problem on ek1?

[nugget666]

Current Wheel Specs Width 5.5 inches 45 Offset ( correct stock size
right??)


new Wheel Specs width 7 inches 38 Offset ( new rims)


could you see me geting scruabge issues with the new rim being a 16 x 7 with a 38+ offset

drop will be about 2 inch's


Would i be better of going for a diffrent offset?

[mrwillz]

no will b fine
i had 17x7's on superlow springs wif rims being offset about +40

[nugget666]

so 38+ should be pretty right for a 16 x 7

any other opinions?

[mrwillz]

i fink up to +40 offset is fine
38 is a ok
mind u wen i got my rims i had a 5mm spacer put in also on 17's

[nugget666]

hmm confused :(

dont know if its worth risking the scruabge to get the rims or just look for somthing with a 40+ offset.

hehe...mang stop worrying... first ur sussy, now ur rims...if u make a mistake, then sell them... someone will buy them. think about it. +38 then +40, both 7 wide. What is the differnce? 2mm! yes 2mm. so take out a ruler, and see how much 2 mm really is. Not very much at all. Jump on a US EK forum (google it) and do a serach. They mod so much more than us.

Tsiß, I already told you you'd be fine, I even told you how to check clearance after mounting. I am a girl but I still know what I am saying.

Just trying to get other users opinions on what offset they have used.

[simbadda54]

17"s with up to 2.5" dump with an offset up 40-42 should be fine. Hence ur 16's should be fine

Ok guys i have sused out the rims.

I am very keen on them..

just soo unsure about using the 38+ as knowone can give me a yay or nay answer

anyone using a 38+ rim?

[nugget666]

what is the stock size rim for a ek1

is it 14 x 5 with a 45+ offset.

if im correct. will this be a problem

this will be the new wheel 16 x 7

Inner Clearance: 18mm LESS (the inside of the wheel to the strut housing)


Outer Position: EXTEND an extra 32mm (position of the outside edge of the wheel)
