wider wheels

[wiredsubzero]

i was wondering whats the widest legal wheels that you can fit on a pre bodey kit rocco cheers i dont want to buy some wheels and find out they stick out too far

im sure ive seen this thread before but i couldent find it

[Boumsong]

Just stick a tape measure in the arch and measure the depth?

Couldn't tell you for sure.

Check over on ED38, theres a few motors of there running 13.5"s and wider on the back

[wiredsubzero]

wouldent like to think the cost per typre sounds tasty though

[Boumsong]

Scirocco's need to be run on 13/14"s anyway, something like a 14/8.5 with a bit of stretch on the tyre, loooveerrlllyyy and loowwwww.

To be fair...I've got 17/225/45's on the back and 15/205/45 on the front...
(at least I will have soooonn)

i was thinking of 10x13 wheels but im not sure if p.c plod will like how much they stick out

[RoccoGuy]

its not about the width its about the offset of the wheels. i had 13x8's on the front and 13x9's on the back with silly low offset. even with the arches pulled about an inch on the back they still stuck out far enough for the old bill to threaton to tow and crush it lol.





the problem is roccos can't get the front low enough to pull off 13's with stretched tires because the bottom of the engine is sitting on the floor before the tires are in the arch, 14's look much better on them.

cheers for the pics I think i might go for 8x13 now as 10x13 will stick out abit much also are those Wellers ? i was thinking of a set of them

[RoccoGuy]

yeah there wellers mate, loved them to bits but would never be able to get them legal on a car without some thing like burg arches.

[Boumsong]

Do you still have them?

[RoccoGuy]

no mate, swapped them for the rsl cults on my green rocco.
