Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 3Original post

235 rub on 18s on a wide body (on full lock), let alone mounted on 20s. The rears you're not going to even get close (3.5% too fast) to the correct rolling radius without attempting that dodgy Euro look. Please don't do it

POST 4Original post

Rear offsets are wrong unless you have a wide body car (4S or Turbo), so a moot point unless you want to get into spacers.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
