rims

Hi,
No the wheels fitted great,no problems with full lock,it is not permitted in New Zealand to use spacers on vehicles.We have a government enforced six monthly warrant of fitness check on our vehicles and they would fail that test.I did a lot of homework on the wheels beforehand and checked et sizes and overall wheel/tire diameter etc and they were very similar.Wheel diameter has to be within 10mm of original size to be legal in New Zealand.
