RS Motorsport :: Classic Speed Restored

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

Was just thinking about it.

I don;t have the rotors attacjed to the hubs on the capri struts yet. Would this make a difference to how far the hub sits out?
