Lo there.
Its time to get my manky R's 19" alloys re-powder coated and diamond cut.
A while back I bought a set of 19" Technical's from a breaker and had a look see what one was like fitted - to see if they cleared the caliper.
I want to fit these while my alloys are being worked on, and maybe also use during next winter with winter tyres on.
As expected - with a different offset they went on and cleared the massive caliper diameter wise, but the back of the alloy face pretty much butt'd up against the caliper.
So I am looking for wheel spacers to compensate for the different offset.
R wheels are 9.0 J 19 CH5-24 (so 9" wide with 24mm offset if I read it right)
Technicals are 8.5 J 19 CH5-27 (8.5" with 27mm offset)
So what can I get away with here? Do I go only 5mm, or can I fit more in before I get wheel arch rubbing of the tyre?
Before you bang a response out - please appreciate - this is for the R - not a GT/Sport - so the requirements are different.
