AMG Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I don't really understand offset etc so just checking if anyone knows if these would fit over UK brakes. If not what size changes would be needed? fronts 19 x 8.5 Rears 19 x 9.5 Can get them in 20mm or 35 mm offset, like i said not sure if this is enough for the soop so any help would be apreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DShox Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 yup me neither - but you can usually send your car detail to the seller of wheels and they can advise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 unless you can get an ok from supplier / someone with a Supe and UK brakes and same wheels, even with right bolt / offset and width its still iffy wether spoke design will clear UK brakes.....some 'correct' wheels have spoke designs that whack UK style calipers...generally, wheels with spokes that are flush with the outer rim are safe bets but not all....sometimes you can find wheels with deep-dished rims yet the spokes are curved out to clear the calipers....best bet is to actually try the wheels on the car before you buy - a real PITA, but beware getting wheels from abroad with no returns policy !

merckx Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 yup me neither - but you can usually send your car detail to the seller of wheels and they can advise... Or send them this: The attached diagram is a cross section of the UK spec caliper/hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
