Do you know the offset of your wheels? It will make a huge difference. Also what is the width?
Camber can also help with clearance .

215 is a little wider than average for our cars, so you'll rub easier than if you had the normal 205.

ye they are a bit wider then i wanted got them off ebay, advert said they were 205's till i picked them up and said are they f..... they're multi fits as well so not too bad but think i want to change them for the honda fat 5's 14 or `15 inch.

not sure of the offset, du know how i can find it out for 100+ alloy wheels?? cheeeeerzzzzz!!! :thumb:

i found my wheels on http://www.rimstock.co.uk/rimstockuk/wheelrange.php

it gives a table of:

Size Offset
6.5 x 15 e+38/45
7.0 x 16 e+38/45
7.0 x 17 e+38/45
7.5 x 18 e+37/45
7.5 x 20 e+37/45



i have 16 inch so i guess its 7.0 x 16 e+38/45
