Is anybody here running 17 x 8 wheels with 225 x 45 / 17 tyres? What offset have you got? Did you have to modify the wheelarches?

Cladius you old duffer, you'll struggle to get those bloody great things under the rears. I bet they will just not fit a classic, regardless of off-set. What's wrong with 17x7in?

Cheers,

Richard.

I'd like to run 225s on 8 inch rims, mate

I am being told the rear will be a problem. Any way around this? What can I do to the damn rear to make them fit?

Also I need a smaller offset, like 42, to fit the brakes.

Any ideas?
