Hi all,

I've had a search through the forums to see if anyone mentioned having spacers and I'm guessing they dont?.

I'm thinking of getting some and do not want spacers or to pi$$ around with rubbing and MOT.

How does everyone get on with them? Perfect fit?

Thanks :D

You sure? Im sure the et is 40 something? I guess it depends on what suspension and how low your car is if rubbing issues.

He never mentioned any drop in suspension.:) Mine is lowered 30mm with the larger 50mm profile tyre and I have no issues with rubbing even on full lock. It even had it's mot last week with no rubbing issues. ;):D

And no, they do not rub, or they shouldn't...even when the car is lowered over -100mm :D

I've got a 30mm drop but its the fronts I was interested in.

Do the centre of the wheels fit on the hubs nice and snug or are they held by the bolts?.

I like the pic, cant decide whether to have a shiny bit on the ones I get.

They go straight on and fit around the centre of the hub just like the 13in wheels :)
