momo Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Is it rubbing on the inside of the wheel? If so, and there's enough space then yes.. If it's rubbing on the outside, on the bodywork.. Then no! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briano Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 it's definitely on the inside momo as there's loads off room from tyre to arch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Do you know what offset the wheel is? For an 8.5" 18" wheel it must be v.high! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briano Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 think they are et 47 will needa check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Standard MV1/2 are 8.5J ET50 I think and they don't rub on 255/35/18 tyres. Either offsets must be higher or you're running a wider tyre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briano Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I had mv1s on it and they never rubbed at all I just swapped tyres over from the mv 1s onto the rivas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BE46N Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 8.5 rear would seem too narrow for staggered reps especially with that offset. I'd double check all the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz 330 Cs Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Yup, you've made a mistake somewhere with the numbers. Can't be ET47 and be rubbing on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjn Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 As above, something wrong here with these figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
