HELP!! Spacers

[DanJames]

I purchased these alloy wheels and they came friday. The tyre size is 195/45/15 and they came with 20mm spacers. But when i tried fitting them to the rear of my flatarch saxo yesterday, the inner part of the tyre rubbed against the inner of the car. Is this right? How can i stop i? Thanks. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110396316162&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&salenotsupported

yeah sell them mate look awful

[saxovtsmad]

maybe get 25 mm spacers for the rear but i would ring them tomorrow after 10am as thats when they are open mate

[DanJames]

The thing is though is that most people on here have fitted them fine with spacers. The tyre seems to be rubbing against the torsion bar or something

[saxovtsmad]

whats the et on the alloys mate

[DanJames]

What is that?

[saxovtsmad]

[DanJames]

it says ET 3/5

[saxovtsmad]

if it says et 35 mate then with the 20 mm spacers that should bring it into the right size I.E et35 - 20mm spacer = et15

your axel could be buggered. do the wheels look like they are leaning in at the top??

[yorker]

if they are et35 20mm spacers should be fine, so if go to the back and stand a bit away from your car, do you wheels look like this / \, if they do you wall need a new axel.

[DanJames]

oh right, i didnt really notice any leaning. Could it be anything to do with to much air in the tyre?

[LeeBBH]

Are they on the correct PSI as it says on the sidewall?
I would very much doubt it would be down to tyre pressure.

My wheels on my flat arch rubbed on the inside at the top of the wheel, i chucked some spacers on and its fine now! :y:

[DanJames]

cheers for the replies guys

i added some 5mm spacers on top of the 20mm spacers and its fine now!!!
