will these fit ok

Postby Red Dragon » Fri Sep 26, 2014 9:25 pm

Thinking about buying these wheels
17 x 8 +40
Would they be ok on a stock NC without sticking out or fouling anything

They also come in 18 x 8 +45

Here is Guy's car with the 8" front and 9" rear both +40

The fit will need a guard roll on the rear though, 235-40-17 is the biggest tyre you can run without scrubbing hard,

Both look fantastic :mrgreen:
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Don't want to roll the guards, would 215 or 225 x 45 be ok, if not ywmbo misses out on the wheels.
