Hello

 

So i have a set of alloys and they stick out around 6cm or roughly 2.3 ish inches, group 2s measure 2.5" at widest point so I think I could get away with it. The advice that I would greatly appreciate is, would i have any clearance issues and is there anything else to be concerned about?

 

Thanks in advance

Group 2 should be fine. You may have to cut your front wings slightly. Have a look here-

you normally need something wider for 6 inch alloys

 

i'm guessing yours are 5x12 and your measuring the outside of the wheel rather than where the tyre sits

I have that setup and although borderline I consider to be fine, certainly look reasonable if you were to be pulled. I didn't cut arches and they rub on full lock

my 1275 rubs on certain corners (in car parks mainly) but only the drivers front wheel :X
