B-Man 16 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hi all,Well I bought a set of RS style wheels for my VR, 17" but needed spacers as they are et35 unlike the standard et47 VR BBS 15". They are very nice wheels but After fitting them I am just not happy! I liked the look of the original 15" BBS as I could get it nice and low with the wheels tucked in the arches. My original idea was to have the originals refurbed in a colour and I shouldhv just done that in the first place! So my question is,any reccomendations on alloys that will go straight on with no spacers needed as I dont realy want to do any archwork so I want something that i can put on,drop the VR and I wont have any issues with touching the arches etc like im having now.If not ill prob just go with my first idea of refurbing the iriginal bbs and out the RS wheels up for sale,still brand new!! Realy want to get my wheels sorted before the V6 meet! Cheers guys! Link to post Share on other sites
andymk312v 15 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 35 should be fine.What width are the wheels?I'm running rx2's with 20 and 25mm spacers final Ets of 23 and 18.No arch mods and it catches the trims slightly. Link to post Share on other sites

B-Man 16 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 35 should be fine.What width are the wheels?I'm running rx2's with 20 and 25mm spacers final Ets of 23 and 18.No arch mods and it catches the trims slightly.Thhey are 17x7.5 et35. With 15mm spacers. Im managing at the front but having a mare with the back. Without the spacers they dont touch but it dont look that great having 20mm at front and none at the back! With the 20mm spacer at the front they touch,and cant lift them any higher as that defeats the point of keeping it low... Link to post Share on other sites
Marneus 78 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 17 x 7.5 will fit perfectly with an offset of 35. I ran my last VR6 on this with a 50mm drop with no rubbing at all Link to post Share on other sites
andymk312v 15 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Do they fit on the front without spacers?If so take them off or reduce to 10mm and run 15mm at the back. Should still be plenty room.Failing that get your arches rolled. Link to post Share on other sites
