Will they fit?

Post by MichaelHatcher » Thu Jan 26, 2017 4:24 pm

Hello all!
On the search for some new wheels for my bb8 and have came across some bbs that have taken my fancy. They're 18s which is what I want but are 9.5j and et35 running 235/35/18 tyres. Any one know whether I'm gonna fit them in with the 4ws? Cheers!

They will rub heavily even with rolled arches.

Could be tight with that width and offset and will probably ride like jobby!

What wheels are they?

They'll rub. Anything under et40 is tricky to fit without rubbing. If you're lowered it's even worse.

Put it this way.
I have 17x9 et 45. With 245/40/17. With 5mm spacers in the back I have a mm or 2 clearance with rolled arches.

I wouldn't even bother unless you're rolled.

Even 17x8 et 30 with 215/45/17 rubbed on my rolled arches.... just.

Nice wheels.
There is one other owner on here running 18's that I can think of and she has constant problems with rubbing. I can't remember what offset and tyre size etc.
