I went to fit the ascari's lastnight and the front tyres are too wide frown
there 245x30x20" all around (thought I would get away with that)

Options:-

1. Sell wheels and start again
2. Buy new 225x30 front tyres and run the risk of a tyre fitter stuffin my rims fitting them.
3. Have the arches pulled and rolled (unsure of price)

is it the same on the back ?
Posted By: golfvr Re: My New Wheels are too Wide :( ..... Damin - 30th Jan 2009 11:43am
loadsa room at the rear, as its not that low.

front 225 tyres are gunna be £140 each.,plus fitting. But these wheels arnt the strongest and with my car being a daily driver I need some strength in them, hence the bigger tyre.


Dont wanna spend £120 on an arch roll/pull too find they still wont fit.

Hows the clearance on the inside - could you machine somemore offset from the face?

You gotta try and keep them on matey - they look scweeeeet grin

(Nice garage BTW wink )
