StuartFZR400 0 Posted April 4, 2007 Rob, in the Knowledgebase three is information on the wheel offsets for each Corrado. If you ran a 6.5 standard wide rim, it needs a 33 offset. Going by the offset calculator you make the wheel wider by 19mm either side (half of 1.5" , ie 3/4") when you increase to a 8j rim. You're main concern is the front wheels. I run a 7" rim and it clears just fine because you're only increasing the width by 1/4 inch either side of the wheel. I hear that people run 8" rims without spacers just fine too, but not sure what offset those wheels have (but I understand they're slammed). The diagram explains it another way. Not sure if clipping the inside of the arch, or clipping the outter arch becomes a problem - I would've thought a 'phat' wheel would clip the inside firstly...... it all depends if you've dropped the car too, by how much. If you want to read more into it, this page goes into more detail. Sorry, that doesnt give a definitive answer. At the end of the day, if you bought alloys with an ET close to 33, you can always get a spacer to move it away from the suspension/inner arch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_B 0 Posted April 4, 2007 thanks for the reply the car is slammed on coilovers at the mo, no rubbing of the wheels at the mo, just chin spoiler scraping! so i shouldnt have any clearance issues with the suspension, its just how much clearance i would get on the wing. ive dropped the arch lining so there are no worries there either. want to avoid spacers really i think i would need to come down to an et 30 or 25 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
