posted this in styling and interior but not had much responce, so will give it a go here

ok i have picked up a cheap used set of TSW reflex alloys for my vtr thing is when they are on the car the distance from the front of the caliper to the inside of the wheel is 40mm where as on the standard vtr wheel it is 20mm. For a start the TSW are 10mm wider than the standard vtr one's so i guess that might account for some of it, it does not look as though i will need longer bolts also there is no spacers on the wheels , so basicly all i am asking is this ok. Cheers
Also looking insde the wheel it looks as if the offset says 25 and using the offset calculator in another thread i should need 3mm spacers

Did the wheels come with bolts? IIRC my old TSW rims had bolts with a smaller head.

Are they bigger than the old ones, 14's to 15s?

Try http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=190769 if you need some spacers!!

It will be fine, with more space between wheel and caliper. Its just different design of wheel.
