Default Wheel sizes
Looking to buy new wheels and wondering about fitment.

Anyone run these FRONT sizes on any Carrera without rubbing?

9in width with 43in ET?
8.5in width with 37in ET?
8in width w/ 30 ET?

want to buy mooty's e88s for sale but am running 9in 51 et on track and they are already looking flush. think i'd rub going more.

he says they fit RS but don't know what RS fender looks like with those fancy extensions

based on the widths and offsets those wheels posted should stick out 5mm-1cm beyond the fender.

i think its too aggressive imo.

They will also kick up a lot of extra road crap onto your fenders

These are track wheels. And that's what I pay my detailer for.

Not a problem. Personally I'd never go beyond 15mm past oem
