Capri Hub Offset vs Escort 2ltr Hub Offset
Posted: Sun May 29, 2011 4:56 pm
Hi Guys,
I have a set of 5.5 SAAB 15" alloy rims with an offset of ET40.
I tried to fit them onto my capri coilover conversion but the strut body fouls on the tyres.
Just for fun I fited them onto the 2ltr struts that are in the car ansd they fit. Allbeit with about 3-4 mm clearance.
Does the capri hub have a smaller offset then the escort one? (Meaning it sits closere to the strut)
Last question, are wheel spacers as bad as everyone says they are?
Cheers,
Matt
