@Haggisman they look great thank you! ok thats interesting i had a 225 on one of the wheels i had and it looked way more stretched than yours, i am thinking 235/40s would look just right now!

thanks again!

I think these wheels suit the car and 235’s are the way to go. Post photos on your car when you can

got tyres fitted up on the wheels today,

been messing around with getting offsets and spacers right as shown on my project thread but really happy with the look so far!

That’s great that it’s worked out, wheels do look good and the spacers work well far as I can tell from the photo’s. Over in NZ if you put spacers on the car has to be complied which is around $600.
Anyway, pleased that you are happy with the tyre choice.

@minimental there is something wrong with your good and fender line definitely.
BTW are you loweder? What offset do you have on those 8,5 rims?

I think the bonnet might not be shut properly in the photo
the wheels are et43 all around, 17mm spacer front 14mm rear standard height for now

Ouch! thats a real shame, interesting as the ac schnitzer spacers are tuv approved and often sold with the wheels as part of the package!

If you have 8,5J ET 43 with 17 spacer that means outer rim will poke out 27.4mm.
I cant even imagine rubbing not occuring.
I am lowered, but on 8,0J with ET 37 and mine is rubbing, that's the same as putting 10 mm spacers to oe wheel 8,0 ET 47.

not sure what you mean by the outer rim poking out?

no rubbing so far, my setup gives a total offset of 26mm therefore equivalent of et31 (rounded) on an 8j wheel, i guess it depends how much you are lowered, i was running 8j et37 before and had plenty of clearance

[Panta Rhei]

Yes I guess lowering the car plays a huge role here.
