wheel

[General Baxter]

i fitted my alloys about 3 weeks ago, Dezent 15" Type E's with 195/50-15 on, and a few days ago just looking round it i found that the n/s front wheel sticks out about 1" than all the other wheels, iv been round and looked at the marking to see if the alloy where the same size and they where!

is there any like spacers i dont know about? as it being droped 60mm next weekend and the wheel sticks out that far it will hit the top

my cars a mk2 1L nova trip if that helps

they must be a bad offset; not correct et45-et49. cud be mot fail mate. halfords do mediocre spacers try them.

[General Baxter]

not a good picture bit you can see how far it sticks out

Was there any spacers on the there when you put them on?

Why would you want spacers if your wheel already sticks out an inch too far :?:

Perhaps the wheel that sticks out has a different offset to the other 3 wheels

[General Baxter]

well i did not put any spacers there

That wheel is defo the wrong offset!

[General Baxter]

your sure?

as its got the same marking as the others!

[?Marty?]

it's not the wheel.

I had that myself with a set of 17's, all the wheels were identical offsets/widths/sizes but the passenger side front wheel stuck out more that the driver side :idea:

[General Baxter]

and what did you do about it?


say the alloy is 45 off set can you put a 50 wheel on it? for example

[Mark]

There is a very easy way to check...lol

Swap your front wheels around, if it transfers from one side to the other it must be the wheel, if it stays on the same side it must be the hub etc.

[General Baxter]

good idea

[Mark]

Thank you, bloody obvious when you think about it, but my mind needs jogging...lol

[General Baxter]

im hoping its the wheel,


simple but step 1 really

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(


its the car :(, but all fixed, gave my arch a little tug :roll:

lol compared to how much my front wheels stick out that wheel looks fine :o

so that confirms my wheels are way out on the offset scale :lol:
