Wh new wheels don't fit.

[sgtqld00]

Hi guys, I bought a WH last week and tyres were bald so i got my hands on a set of VY SS wheels and i have access to selected new tyres extreemly cheap. 235/50/18 my problem is i got them fitted up today any the dont fit. They foul on the spring mount on the strut (only just) still turn just slightly rub. Anyone have any ideas about other struts available. I want these tyres to fit !!! Thanks for any ideas.

would be cheaper to put 40series tyres on it instead of goin for coilovers(that would be ur only option), 50 series is way to tall for the wh

I got them to fit with 5mm wheel spacers!!! looks sweet

arnt wheel spacers illegal? and a 50 profile will be too big to a wh, especially on 18's. Speedo may be out now

Spacers or coilovers,
thats your 2 options if you must have a 50 profile tyre, 235/40/18's just fit about 1cm clear of the springbase

spacers are illegal plus the cops can ping u for wrong tyres!! hope the load and speed rating match ur tyre placard.
