Anything below the front brakes would obstruct. Following will need to match when buying aftermarket rims: * Bolt pattern: this is the diameter of an imaginary circle drawn through the centre of the bolt holes. PCD is measured in mm. 4x400 means the wheel has 4 bolt holes and and diameter of imaginary circle through these holes is 100mm. * Type of Rim: 7.5 x 17 means 7,5 inch width x 17 inch diameter. ET46 means a positive wheel offset of 46mm. Lower offset values will make the wheels stick out more. If buying secondhand be careful that the rims are not bent, and they should be balanced properly.

Thanks for all the info, not looking for "aftermarket" i want the same style i got but only 17 instead of 18 so there is more rubber Not shure if they come in 17 cause i can only find 18 have the thin spoked alu look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per A Posted January 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Anyone have a clue if a pair of 275/65/17 will fit without rubbing?? or is a lift needed for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the tire size of @Roshan Abraham. Roshan can you share your experience? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
