There's a set for sale on the wheels FS thread? Otherwise Carnewell is great.

Carnewal is great - no affiliation and just a happy customer

These wouldn't fit. If they did you'd be running a serious stretch tyre and a seriously compromised geo. But you already knew that...

You run the risk of confusing the majority that wish to run more 'standardised' fitments?

new rim parts to suit, they are too wide in their current config obviously. I'd venture a guess that the seller incorrectly measured the fronts, thats total speculation though.

i can delete it if it pleases the forum

Ah ok cool

Actually there is a gent here (F2Island IIRC) who managed to fit 11J rears. It required flattening of the oil line, rolled arches, stretch tyres and camber - but he managed to make it work.

I had this same concern last week when I viewed your topic here https://rennlist.com/forums/964-foru...-thread-3.html on page 3 regarding the veloce wheels. the conversation about them following may have clouded the waters for people who are not as informed regarding wheel and offset fitments. I chose to keep my thoughts to myself though.

The only reason I posted the pelican link really was to give the wheel hunters here a heads up. I would have appreciated it a few weeks back before I pulled the trigger, especially because at 3kusd they are about half of what a new set costs.

If its an issue i'll delete it, no harm no foul.

I'm ready to purchase, any consensus on size and offset for NB. 225 front and 255/265 rear?
