This brings me to my second question, more importantly directed at Michael. Your Simmons were 16x8" in a 25mm offset correct? I know I've probably asked this, but how much clearance did you have to the strut?

Any ideas would be great.

Cheers,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,

Just a few too many a's, c's, h's and y's !!!!

Yes my previous rims were 16x8 with +25mm offset. With the MS65 hubs on (I beleieve they space the rim/hub maouting face out wards ~6mm per side - I haven't measured this myself, but a reputable source has), there was about 10mm clearance between the strut tube and the closest face on the tyre (a 225/50x16 btw)

The effective difference in backspace of my rims and yours (negating the change due to the disc mounting change) is about 0.75mm more - ~ 127.25mm.

Note, I also had RA60 strut tubes that also brought the top of the tyre closer to the strut tube.

In summary, I think you should be fine.

Any possibility of test fitting a rim that closely matches the specs from a local wheel supplier ?
