Cato Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Another Q: How do I know if my wheels will rub the fenders when turning? Just because iPd says it's for my car, does that necessarily mean I can use it with no problems? Also, please post pics of your car if you have spacers on them.

BurgerBob Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 What are you putting spacers on? The model might help. Also, what's the big deal with rub? Mine have been rubbing at full locks for years...it is not a big deal. I have no spacers and I'm running 215/40R18's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Betty Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 measure your fender gap. That will be the only way to know. But if you'd like a few educated guesses atleast post the offset of the wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorqueSteer Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I had 25mm spacers on the rear a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sconeman Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 measure your gap, but it depends on what else you're doing with you car...drop etc. I can tell you that I'm running 215/45 17's with no spacers on front and 10mm spacers on rear. IPD springs.. rear no rub. front rub over huge bumps around sharp corners only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVC Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I have 5mm on my car, you could probably go bigger, but I also have different wheels. I think your car need wheels first. Let me know if you want to meet up to get some ideas from my S80, I'm in Chicago all summer and not really doing much of anything and I'd love to see how you did your grille. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossback Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I run 15mm on the rear, 0 front with nistos. but I understand the C is more generous in the rear wheel well. (ugh, that's my now removed OBX muffler) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm holding off on the wheels for now. They sort of go with the "full" look of the grille and I also just don't have the money right now Yea, just tell me if you're around Joliet or Wilmington and I should be able to meet you. Still under parental control so I can't really travel anywhere, especially to meet someone they don't know. lol I don't even want to think about it without spacers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVC Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 you could always just get a different set of stock wheels and move your tires over to them to change the look... I'd have to see how bent my stock arrakis are but I'd be willing to sell em to ya pretty cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Ok, I think I'll pass then. I'd rather get these (18): But if you ever have any other parts from your s80 for sale be sure to tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVC Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Mostly stock stuff to tell ya the truth, I might sell off my Enkei Wheels but I also might get em powdercoated... If you need stock parts then let me know. haha. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
