rims on cally T .... offset help!!

[CAL.16V]

hi looking at getting a set of rims for my 4x4 cally turbo...

they are used.....

the question basically is... will they fit my car??


specs...

18" by 7.5" ..

tyres

215/35/18


offset

+52



i know they will fit but the worrying thing is the offset.. i know that the stock one is +49 and these rims are wider by an inch ... i know you can have around 40 offset but what about a 52 offset??

please help as they are really cheap and i can get these drilled to my stud pattern... cant find cheaper rims here.. so need to know if they are a go or not..

uess i could always fit spacers no???

the pcd is wrong. those have the wrong distance between the studs, although they are in 5 stud. a greater et offset is not a problem, u can get spacers for that, but pcd is harder to change

I dont see a big problem with that offset and 18 x 7.5 with 215/35/18 is fine but the PCD is 5 x 114 which I dont see how you will be able to drill to suit as the holes would surely overlap ?!

been to a few wheel suppliers here in aus and that is the only pcd they have said they wpould drill for me ...

it is probably the most popular 5 stud pcd too... the redrilling would be in between each of the current holes and a little closer to centre of the wheel....

a few cally guys have it done here in aus as the 5x100 pcd is basically extinct bar 2-3 wheel types


so anywyas had a look underneath the car and the front tyre is really close to the struts so yous sure this would be ok??


worst comes to worse can i use something like this?

only worried about how i would get the wheel on with them as we got bolts not wheel nuts and also wondering if i would need longer custom wheel bolts say for a 5 or 8mm spacer?

anyone wanna do a very quick pjhotoshop for me on a dark coloured calibra?

Hi, +52 ofset will bring it very close to the hub, you will need spacers and the 5 stud pattern is 5x110 [img]/smile.gif[/img]

[daddycool]

Do you know if the tyres have been rotated properly and are all same manufacturer?

If not then you will need to run in 2WD or get a new set of tyres.

[CAL.16V]

yeah rotated properly and same man...

once again i know the pcd is 5x110... gotta get them redrilled...

not sure if i will get them now becasue of the whole spacer issue

So whats this 5x100 you mentioned ?

[CAL.16V]

5x110 is my pcd and 5 x 114.3 is the wheels pcd which i can get redrilled

dont think i will get them now as cant check them out before auction closes
