aoxx24 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hi there, Just signed up and a total newbie to cars. I have just bought some 16" "RS turbo" alloys. I put them on and obvioulsy they rub, do i put spacers on and cut the arches? If i do put spacers on and cut the arches , can i still lower it? And with the spacers, the thread from the hub hardly reaches through the alloys wheels, how would the spacers fit? :S Sorry if thats a really silly question, but bikes are my thing :P Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought they'd want rolling not cutting, look at http://www.archenemy.co.uk/ but I know nowt about the specific combo you're intending to put together so hopefully a mk3 nut will be along soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
