Advice Wanted - RA28 Wheels Clearance

[Akaoni (Casey)]

Hey All

Just a quick query, do these wheels have enough clearance from the struts and chassis or am I gunna run into problems:






This gap is about 20mm. I couldn't get a ruler in past the sway bar and only just thought of using a tape measure then (DOH!!).

These are 15x6 at, AFAIK, +30 offset:





Cheers!!

should be ok the offset is a little large but looks like it will work

I've heard of people running clearances even tighter than this with no reported problems, so you should be Ok. Maybe consider a 5mm spacer on the fronts just to give yourself a bit more room? Looks like worn tires on those rims - you will need to be careful with what you select in terms of width/profile when you need to replace them. Even tires the same specs as you have now but with new rubber will be a bit closer on the chassis clearances.

Thanks Zammo and ta22fan!!

These tires are actually bigger in diameter than the ones I'll put on, which should open the clearance to the chassis up a bit (or equalise the difference in wear).

Hopefully there isn't much wear of the side walls though or the clearance will get worse.
