listy Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) I'm sure someone has had UK fronts with WolfRace Shark wheels (8.5j +35 offset), but I can't remember who it was, or where they stated that fact. Can someone confirm they will fit, as if they don't I can take my spare fronts until I get some new wheels to accommodate them. There is loads of room for the JSpecs, but I know that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Cheers in advance for the help. Oh, and I have looked through the "Wheels known to fit" thread, but can't find a mention Edited September 10, 2013 by listy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Yes they do fit bud, I've got sharks and UK brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Happy days Saves me taking a spare set of wheels on Sunday and getting Craig to swap the tyres. Hopefully I get a chance to give them a lick of paint before sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 i had sharks and they did fit but needed a 3 mm spacer on the fronts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 i had sharks and they did fit but needed a 3 mm spacer on the fronts Was that because they wouldn't fit? Or because it was very close? Were yours the same width and offset as mine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Mine are 8.5 et 30 front, and clear - although it does look tight, I can assure you they don't rub. I've got 15mm spacers on my fronts though, purely to make a more aggressive stance 9.5 et35 rears, again no problems there, but I've got 20mm spacers just toake them sit better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Listy, if you do decide to fit some 3mm spacers, to make you feel better, I have a pair here you can have mate. They're only cheap anyway, but free is even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Was that because they wouldn't fit? Or because it was very close? Were yours the same width and offset as mine? it was because they didnt fit, they failed the calipar , cant remember the offset sorry ,when i get home i will check for you if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Just checked them and they are et +35 I had to 100% have spacers on them That being said I have seen alot of variants of the wolfrace shark Mine had a stainless lip with a curved edge (simply just stuck on) I have seen Polished alloy which has a more square edge and another type with a stepped edge (very small lip where tyre goes) So these variants may clear but mine did not clear my uk brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
