Autec wheels

Post by fried chicken »

Hi, I have found these wheels & the company that supplies them will bore centers out to fit, pcd is right & they say they will fit with 15mm spacers. Is 15mm to wide?Does anyone else use 15mm, is this going to upset the handling? I am going to fit 195/70/15. this is to go on 1988 T25, Cheers

Weight rating is fine as they are a van rim & van tyres to be fitted, not sure of the offset, have been advised by the supplier that 15mm spacers needed, just double checking I suppose?

I use 10mm on the front and 20mm on the rear with no probs. :)

Check the ET, and check the load ratings and tyres they will be supplying, assume nothing and you won`t be dissapointed :(
Keep it real.

So you got the deluxe model with handling did you :)

I am hoping that the extra looks will make me think I am getting extra handing, so i will be able to reach 70 mph on the motorway in less than 6 miles, thanks for the replys, looks like 15mm is OK
