205gti alloys

[Scorgie01]

Basically im a little confused.

Im trying to fit these to a mk2 furio but when fitted with out spacers the rear wheels hit the trailing arm and the front wheels are very close to the droplinks.

I have 20mm hubcentric spacers but the centres are too big to go into the centre of the wheels.

Now my questions

Does everyone else have a similar problem with these wheels or is it just a Furio thing?
And
Can i machine the lip off of the spacers so that the surface that the wheels will be bolted against is flat and there for not hubcentric?

Please Help

Your car lowered? I have a standard height westie with 205's on it and they don't rub at all but on my last westie it was lowered and I had 10mm spacers on the back and everything was fine

Nah, not lowered...High doesnt really begin to describe it haha

ah ok, thats interesting, mine rubs on the end of the axle, like the hubs aren't far enough out.

[IanRyan]

is it the tyres rubbing or alloy? what profile tyres you on?

edit; just re-read the whole thing, so basically you haven't been able to but the rear alloys on the car?

[Scorgie01]

They are 50 profile tyres but yeah basically

The front ones will go on but they are bloody close to the anti-roll bar top bolt

i took a grinder to the front droplink bolt to make em fit to mine but as soon as you lower it you will need to use 195/45/15 tyres

[Scorgie01]

How much did you lower it by? How did they fit on the back?

[scottie_436]

5mm spacer and all will be good.... they are ment to go on a car with a different offset after all

i had these on my old vts lowered 60mm all round, only rubbing i had was on the rear, it caught the bracket for bumper, took an angle grinder to that. then on front it rubbed when on full lock.

[Scorgie01]

What profile of tyres did you have?
