OK I want to fit league 238s 7" by 17"s on my turbine. I can have all the arches rolled but i dont want dont want to use wheel spacers! I have a spax psx suspension kit fitted which is a drop of 40mm any ideas of what offset wheels would need to go on and would it catch on full lock on the steering? is there any other mods needed at the back or front?

At the back you`ll need spacer blocks, and for the front you may get away with a 30mm offset with coilovers. All alloys are slightly different though so you can`t be certain till you get them on and try them.

I take it that offset is ET30? By the way psx kit isnt coilovers its just ride firm/soft adjustable although i may be swapping these for coil overs. MOONDUST FRST!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, ET30. I`ve recently brought a set of Mas 7x17, I did ask for 30mm offset but couldn`t get hold of them so I got 35mm offset instead and i`ll have to use 3 or 5mm spacers on the front. Rears are not the problem as you can get spacer blocks made. Just waiting for the car to come back and i`ll get them on and measured up. I`m using coilovers though. You`ll need to mod the arch liner and snip the bodykit aswell.

There's a couple of pages worth of advice for those of us (myself most definitely included!) who intend fitting 17s

How do you modify the arch liners to fit?

How do you modify the inner arch liners?

Why didn't the posts work earlier? [Edited by icecool (16-02-2001 at 11:42 PM).] [Edited by icecool (16-02-2001 at 11:42 PM).]

What are the disadvantages of wheels this size and would it be better to go for 16"s?

Increase in torque steer bad tramlining heavy steering at low speeds scrapeage on full lock harsh ride expensive tyres ah.. the prices we pay for fashion <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/wink.gif"> Go for 16"s if you want it easier, but I'd gor for 17"s if I were you.
