    Wheel question

    Hi

    Just wondering does wheels like 7x15 with ET 37 cause any issues?
    I thinking about OZ Ultraleggeras for my R5 GTT.
    Using now 6x15 with 195/45r15 tires.

    Clio Williams wheels are 7 x 15 and fit OK. But I've forgotten the offset. Thirty something.

    I also had 195 45 15 tyres.

    There was less locking up when braking and I seem to recall that turn in had less understeer than with the 6 1/2 x 15 wheels.

    i think it was 35mm offset
    if so 37 wouldn'tbe an issue
    i think the more offset the more the wheel/tyre moves towards the car and closer on lock to the chassis rails ect

    I currently run ET 35 16"'s with 195/40/16 tyres. No rubbing and full lock also. Im going for some R888 195/50/16's soon as i seem to have plenty height in the arches and would prefer less of a teeth shattering ride.

    at worse a 5mm spacer on front will do the job no rubbing
