ANDYMISIXTEEN 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Will 15" x 7" Alloys fit on a 205 Cti? They have an offset of 35 and i have a 309 rear beam. Will the back ones probably fit without spacers but the fronts need spacers? Would fitting a 309 front set up help? Could i stretch the tyres like how all the Dubs do? Sorry for all the questions lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tom_m 0 Posted October 22, 2007 the backs should fit without spacers, but you'll be negating the width of the beam by chopping 20mm off it with the reduced offset. the fronts will need a 20mm spacer to bring them back tho the et15 of the pug wheels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ANDYMISIXTEEN 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Would the extra width of the alloy be either side or more one way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted October 22, 2007 with a wider wheel you will need a smaller ET, the rears will probably fit fine as youve got a 309 beam, but be prepared to raise the height of the rear to stop the arches from cutting the tyre in half! yes the width is on both sides of the wheel, i.e if you had an ET 19 6" rim and an ET 19 7" rim, there would be an extra half inch each side.

ANDYMISIXTEEN 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Will the extra width of the alloys help the handling or make it worse? Dont want to make the car any higher the backs 35mm atm. Will stretching tyres help clear the archs? I do like the stretch tyre look but dont wanna ruin the handling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest smokinslim Posted October 22, 2007 Gocart mate, you'll love it! Make sure that the rear tyres aren't rubbing on trailing arms at the tube when fitted though, you may need some thin spacers for them. Stretched tyres may help with arch clearance, worth looking into the idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ANDYMISIXTEEN 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Going to fit my Gaz coilovers soon, hope there guna be as good as the Spax that are on there. Not sure if i should run 309 wishbones etc, do they make a huge difference? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brianthemagical 1 Posted October 23, 2007 potentialy you can get more grip with the same rubber but they are more suseptible to camber and altering the scrub radius, which is altered by the offset and width, will affect the steering feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
