fraggle Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hi, I have been considering changing the alloys on my MK7 2009 Sport Van......the alloys I would like are Ford 7.5J * 17" RS 7 Spoke Softline.....I am just a bit concerned they may catch??.........I did borrow a 7.5J * 17" Diamond cut alloy when the side wall went on one of my tyres and all I had in the boot was the compressor....that allow fitted fine and did not catch, but I did not drive the van hard due to being on a borrowed alloy... Any info gladly received. thanks Fraser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikester Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Where you sourcing them from? the hard cut ones are uber hard to come by, fair enough these are more common but I'm interested :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fryboi Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 it'll be fine. I had 17's on mine with a 50mm lowering and even with 5 people and a full boot I never had any trouble. admittedly, mine were 7j but .5 wont make a big enough difference to cause any rubbing etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
