Robbo149 0 Posted December 9, 2003 Hi all, been looking at TT competition alloys for my VR (see pic). I know they are a different offset, so what are the implications of fitting on a C ? Presumably the tyres would have to be a 205 or 215/40? Would it be feasible to have the inner faces skimmed to reduce the offset? cheers all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted December 9, 2003 What offset are they? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbo149 0 Posted December 9, 2003 I believe they are 28 or 30, whereas the C is down as 32 - 38. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted December 9, 2003 I see no reason why they shouldn't go straight on then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 9, 2003 I think those particular wheels are ET31. I've been out in a VR wearing those wheels and the ride was pretty good. Imo, they stick out too far but they do suit the car from a side-on view though, and more importantly, they are of a similar weight to the speedlines. I think skimming the wheel's hub mating face may have structural integrity implications, best check with a wheel refurbisher to double check.

Robbo149 0 Posted December 9, 2003 Cheers for the replies. Kev, when you say they stick out too much, do you reckon they would be an mot failure / catch on the arches? (my car's not lowered btw). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 9, 2003 Nah they won't catch on anything, it's just a perception thing. They 'look' a little far out of the arches but that's just my own view. The car I saw them on was dropped 35mm on H&R springs and they didn't foul anything. Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted December 9, 2003 More of a problem is that you need to put a 3mm spacer in behind the rear wheels in order to clear the cap that covers the rear wheel bearings... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Dan 0 Posted December 10, 2003 A mate on mine has just put these wheels on his Storm. They look the nutts! I'll get some pic's up as soon as I have some. He it getting some coil overs on in the next few weeks. Time to play the arch modding game! I will get some b4 & after shots 8) Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted December 10, 2003 Do it, they look fantastic on the Corrado. Especially a dark one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GazzaG60 0 Posted December 10, 2003 my 7.5x17 RCs are a 35mm offset i use a 5mm spacer which makes 30mm and they dont stick out of the arches. i run a 205 40 17 tyre. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zarman 0 Posted December 28, 2003 The TT wheels fit but there is a little rubbing. Our site is currently down. Check later, the pics will work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3RKD 0 Posted December 28, 2003 these are also in the short list for the choice of wheels for my c.. they must be more subtle than the 9x16" et15mm rims it used to wear.. :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbo149 0 Posted December 29, 2003 Thanks for the pics Zarman, they do look great on the C. Where does the rubbing occur? & have you used any spacers? Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluxie 0 Posted December 30, 2003 I don't think that is Zarman his corrado, since the properties of the pic show a filename "JERRY4.jpg" ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
