Hey all,
Is anyone else running 6" wide rims on a lowered squareback?
Has this caused any issues for anyone?
Cheers

hey nige...dunno what brand rims u running but it sticks out cus its an extra inch wider than what we're talkin...i got lower profiles on mine...but even if i had the 60's it would clear...unless i went offroad.or hit a mass pothole at speed,

I used to run 15x6 no worries - I think it was 100mm backspace

I had those 6" mags on the squareback before, but the rears were in line with the bodywork, so If I had lowered it they would have rubbed and rested on the guards.
Hmmm, is that the offset thing that Andy mentioned?
