Nick fancies putting different wheels on his car, as he wants fatter tyres for more traction (the choice of tyres for the wheels he has is limited). Now, will the Griffith 5 spoke wheels fit on an S? Also, I have a spare 16 inch Imola from my Chim, will that fit too? He has a number of ideas, but he really needs a different size wheel to fit his preferred tyres (toyos). Any advice is grand.

The 16" won't fit without spacers or v8 trailing arms ;( the 15s will be the same as he already has I believe.

He needs some 16x8 comp mo's IMHO

That said if you have a spare and try it. At least you will see how big a spacer you need...

I have 17" 225/45 installed in mine. Not sure how many bolts it has but could check it if you are interested. Car has lots of grip, too much I would say xD

Ok chaps, what's the difference between V8S trailing arms and the V6S?

Also, what's the spacer for? Does the wheel foul without it?

And as for the 17 inch wheel, is that the same rolling circumference as the 15 inch? I'm not actually sure what the rolling circumference is on Nick's wheels, I'd have to ask him to check!

Isn't there a table on this in the "bible"?

about 1" the v8 and s4 run a wider track than the S123 this moves the wheel out without it I believe the inside of the wheel will foul the trailing arm. I wanted some chim wheels for mine but didn't fancy spacers.

Has Nick got an LSD ? Makes a big difference to traction.
