My name is Russell Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Probably isn't anything you can do about it if its hitting them by alot, sounds like you need some wheels with the correct offset, what are the wheels off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CXGPWR Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 ^ Sell them & get correct offset wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d.p.n.s Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 i had 17s on my last van and they were off a FWD car the backs were fine but i had to get longer studs for the front and space them out al least 16mm and they were 205x40x17 tyres if your realy want them on then get hub adptors. or just go to a 13,14 or 15 rim. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 or a 17 with the right offset. If ya want to know more about offset then use the search function. It will reveal all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrx7 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 yeh if you like the look of the 17's on there at the mo, then get some spacers ... then you might have problems with guard rub ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skunkwerx Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 thanks for the help.yeah they suit the car really nice on the back,guard rub shouldnt be an issue really,yeah mite have to go for spacers and longer studs option. tires are 205/40/17 and im guessing they are fwd offset.
