Problems with my wheels, Advice please??

[mr747]

you have the wrong offset there

[Miz_II_Die_IV]

Offset is +42 thats what they say anyways

Hey aaronng, No they dont shake on the euro, just that i was rubbing b4 i rolled the guards.. and i havent even lowered it...

I see. Then your problem is the offset and width of your tyres/rim. On my friend's Euro, 8" width and +42 offset caused rubbing when lowered. So for your 8.5" and +42 offset, it is too wide even for stock height. Are you still able to exchange them for something with a more suitable offset?

then you have a probel with something
i dont know anyone in sydney if your were in melb i know heaps of people that could help you

OFFSET!
3 things you can do
Abuse them for not doing their job!
Get new rims with the right offset!
Shave inside the rim to the right offset!

best option is 1 and 3

rolling the guards whiles its a 4wd wont do nothing
rummbing might go away after you have lowered your car and you have rolled your guards

I was told max.offset +45 for Euro.I've got +48 on 17s,lowered approx.35mm and its a close fit.try and cut a deal with Ozzy(good luck) to swap for 18x7s or something like that.The other thing is that decent 20"rubber=$$$$

decent 20"rubber=$$$$

even 18" rubber is expensive!!!

That's why i've stuck with 17s.I can put decent rubber on my car without breaking the bank.
