New Alloys

[P38Aaron]

Hi

Am looking at getting some new alloys, I want to keep with the 17" option.

Thinking of Kei RSS to be exact, 7 x 17"

Has anybody fitted this size/type and did they have to modify the calipers for them to fit?

Thanks in advance

Aaron

Not a specific reply to your problem, but on my old car I bought some alloys which rubbed a tiny bit, easiest option was some 3mm spacers which cost about £5 - did the trick perfectly. For such a small offset, you can use spacer plates no problem at all.

cheers for the reply.

when using spacers do you need to put in new studs to hold the wheels on, or is there enough thread for the wheels?

If the wheels are the correct fitment for the car they shouldn't rub at all on anything. Especially seeing as you are going for the standard size of rim.

If you do need to use spacers anything up to 3mm should be fine to use with standard wheel studs. Prob better to use 1 or 2mm spacers though.

You can use upto 5-6mm spacers on stock wheels. I'm running 6mm on my 17s.

I'll be running 10mm on my 19s soon
