flyfisher 6 2 Cars Posted December 23, 2014 As above looking at some lenso alloys. These are 108 PCs. 15 inch dia. But my choice is only available in 7j width. Car is fitted with a 309gti rear axle which might help with the xtra width of rim. Has anyone tried 7j rims do they fit any advise would be helpfull. Happy Christmas to all members thanks peter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,737 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) 309 beam will be more of a hindrance than a help, ET15 7" wheels go straight on a standard 1.9 or 1.9 with 1.6 beam. Edited December 23, 2014 by welshpug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyfisher 6 2 Cars Posted December 23, 2014 Is that even if new wheels have a bigger inset. My thinking 309 beam would have xtra width Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,737 Posted December 23, 2014 no because they'll hit the trailing arm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyfisher 6 2 Cars Posted December 23, 2014 Ok thanks scratch that idea will have to stick with the 1.9 alloys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich_p 23 Posted December 24, 2014 If they are ford fit wheels then you can rub hubcentric adaptors/spaces to get the offset more appropriate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
205Rallee 59 Posted December 24, 2014 Bit of a hijack, but will 15 x 6" with ET30 (using 195 50 15 tyres) fit on a 1.6GTI or will I need circa 10mm spacer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,737 Posted December 24, 2014 they may well go on as is, just be a bit tight, but yes an 11mm spacer wil take them to the same as the 1.9 wheel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
205Rallee 59 Posted December 24, 2014 That's spot on, found some brand new OZ racing wheels for peanuts which will do for running around on the roads between events and my annual big trip to the 205 Rallye Club Annual meet in France Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
