Wheel width question

[Russell]

I am going from a 7jx15 et20 cross-spoke wheel to an 8jx17 ET 20 wheel. (OE style 32). Is the 1-inch greater rim width on the outside or some on the inside?

I plan to use 235x45x17 tires. It seems as if the clearance along the front strut will be a bit tight.

BTW, I will use hubcentric rings. I have plastic and metal. TIA

Since the offset is the same, ET20, the additional width is equally split, 1/2" on inside and 1/2" on outside.

I am running 17x8.5 with that same tire size with no rubbing. You should be OK.

i have 17x9 and no rubbing, so it's good.

if you can, use metal rings, plastic could shake.

you wont have any trouble with those widths,I have had 17 x8 and now have 17x8.5 with 15 mm offset(thats goes 5 mm outwardi think) and i dont have any trouble,thats with mtech suspension which is slightly lower than std

[Russell]
