running offset 40 alloys no my C,

[-Neil- 0]

just realised my alloys that came on my C have 5mm spacers, and the alloys are 40, thus making them offset 35.

 

Any problems with running them without the spacers?

 

and whats the propper offset for my C?

Its a K reg 2ltr 16v.

 

And yes i did a search, not found my asnwers exactly.

What width are they? Should be fine but the wheels will sit further in the arches. No probs with spacers as long as you use the longer bolts.

Offset for the 16V is 35, hence the spacers!

 

40 might catch on the inner arch if they're 7.5J or bigger width....

They are fine on the inner arches etc, they are closer to the calipers tho, and my brake pads are in need of a change, i have a feeling once i put new pads in they'll foul the alloys, could this the problem with the spacers?

Maybe why the spacers are there. Theres nowt wrong with spacers if used properly.

How low can i go then, with 7.5J wheels, i mean with then offset number(to the outside arch of the car)?

My rims are 7.5x17's & im running the same offset & 5mm spacers.. it rubs on full lock & driven hard.. its abt as low as it can go at the mo.. see pics in my siggy..
