Re: Yes, 6-1/2 inch wide winter wheels on 9-5 n/m Posted by SPG Jr [Email] (#1830) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SPG Jr) on Wed, 27 Mar 2019 08:32:18 In Reply to: Re: Yes, 6-1/2 inch wide winter wheels on 9-5 n/m, lms, Wed, 27 Mar 2019 04:17:51 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
From my experience (and Nick T’s insight), offset was the primary contributor to rubbing. Offset of ET35 seems to be the magic number. OE SAAB wheels are >40 I think. I had Ronal 17x8 ET35 with 5mm spacers on front (effectively ET30) and the rubbing on every little dip was intolerable. Removed spacers and pretty sure rubbing was cured. I’ve since switched to double 3 spokes. Might fool around with the 17x8s again this summer.
