Help with Borbet A's!

[Westie_vRS]

Hi guys, i have recently brought a vrs & found a tidy set of 16" borbets 7.5j ET30. Does anyone has this size fitted to their car? If so are spacers requiered or isit just bolt on and drive jobby?

You should get away with that, Does the car still have standard Fr. brakes?

[Babs]

They'll stick out a little on the front, and be flush at the back

Ok brill, how much roughly do you think they will stick out on the front?

According to this, 21mm for the face of the wheel!

Loads of room

^^ is this measurement from the wheel arch buddy?

[Babs]

Should be ok, might have a little poke at the front. Test them

My et32 comps sat just about flush with the arch, no spacers. They should be ok, doubt you'll notice 2mm.

I've got, 7.5j 17 ET37, With a 25mm drop, Running 205's with no issues, Your wheels will extend 7mm further than mine. With 205's you'll have a tiny bit of stretch, So unless your car is on it's ass you'll not have rubbing issues!

Phil fitted some a while back and posted a pic in the above link.

May be worth bearing in mind (for future mods) that they won't fit over 312mm brakes
