Need real answers (5x112 ET20)

[Vstone2262]

Ok so I got some MB reps to run for this summer/spring and will be whoring them off locally once Im done with them.

I just want to know from expirience if you guys think this will be a tight fit on my saab. Factory bolt pattern is 5x110 so I will be running wobble bolts.

My current set up is 16x6.5 Unknown offset. I am running a 215 tire as well.

My new set up will be 5x112 ET 20 with 225 tire. I want to know if I will need to roll the fenders or possibly do more work. Current picture of the front and rear:

As you see I still have a slight wheel gap, and I need an alignment (Doubt that will change much) I just want to know if this will be a tight fit. For reference here is a guy with the same lowering running a 9.5x19" (offset: 30 mm) with 235/35



and here are some stock Dub wheels on an SS



thanks for any help you may have !

Dude I think you've got it all messed up...

1. Get wheels with the correct stud pattern, thats not something you generally change without changing the whole hub
2. You will have no trouble with rubbing being that high
3. Use this link for your offsets and google offset calculator to get the difference. If your getting ET20 where this site says ET35 is the norm, your wheel will poke out 15mm further which shouldn't be a problem at all because they always aim to keep the rim inside the arch as standard. You also have to keep the width of the rim in mind when working it out

Hope that helps a bit. Remember if you ask these sorts of questions. State the wheels size and offset eg 16x6.5j ET20 for both set ups as bolt pattern means nothing in this situation

Also here's a good site to see what tyres to fit, assuming you want stretch
