wheel spacers

[chrissallison]

ordering my force ten 18s with 235 rubber but would like some spacers any ideas on what width i should go for?

[Anthony]

Depends on the offset of the wheels...

[chrissallison]

will try and find out what offset they are

[Anthony]

Also what profile are the 235 tyres?

Ive ordered the same wheel, should be here on wednesday...

how come your going for a 235 tyre and not a 225?

Thanks

Matt

cool, had my eye on them for ages think they will suit the car a treat. 18x7.5 in gunmetal with 235-40 profile. went for 235 for a bit more protection. wil post pics when fitted.

Oh right.. sounds like a good idea that.. wish i'd thought of that before I paid 146 quid a corner for falkens lol.

used to have stretched rubber on one of my old cars for the euro look but rims didnt last five mins so erring on the side of caution lol. will you post some pics when you get your keis on please matty

[Anthony]

You do realise that your speedo will be out right?

[chrissallison]

only slightly hopefuly

205 50 r17 overall diameter 637 mm
235 40 r18 overall diameter 645 mm
difference 8mm or 1.26%
speedo reads 70 actual speed 70.9 well within speedo inacuracy levels
