Anyone know if these skinnies will fit?

[itr206]

I can get a set of Weld racelites for an awesome deal. This dude said he had them on an MR2
They are 15x3.5
He said the offset is 1.75

Will these work for the front of an MK3?
Any spacers or anything needed? I dont wanna waste the money if I dont have to

I don't think you can get them to clear the brakes in the front.

Just use two stock spare wheels with skinnies on them. A whole lot cheaper, in most cases free........

 

[itr206]

becuase of the offset?
What is the reccomended offset for skinnies?
Id search SF, but its down and the f'n search never works.

Spares I dont think are legal, and even if they are, i dont want the extra weight

im pretty sure the rotar itself is like 11.5".. so i really dont think that rim would clear it all... i think i tried a 14" rim once and it was too small too.

Those wheels will probably clear the brakes, at worst you're going to need a spacer, which is not that hard to do. Be sure to get the kind of spacer with an additional set of studs. I've seen those wheels and there's not a lot on the back of the wheel that could interfere with the brakes.

well according to Slow66 15's will deff fit over the stock brakes. He did mention something about spacers.
But I was unsure of the backspacing and how that affected it

 

[Slow66]

well, like i said, the bs on those is the same on the 4" ones i had, so they should work with a 3/8 spacer, but i cant be 100% because i dont know how that exact rim sits. But if its anythig like the draglite, theyll work. I say give them a try...what the worst that can happen, you 'll have to re-sell them? Youre getting a decent deal right?

Thanks for the info . Im just gonna get em. $150 I guess I cant go wrong , if they dont fit, Ill resell them
