Title: Wheel question.
Post by: ted_one on 14 May 2016, 17:31:13
Will the 17''Elite wheels fit on to an MV6 that's been lowered by around 20-25mm,currently on 16'' pre facelift Elite wheels or would there be a possibility that they would foul the wheel arches? TIA  :y

Cheers Paul,
                I was thinking afterwards,that if I keep the profile on the tyres low then they might have been OK.I'll give it some thought and wait a bit just in case someone else comes along and flags up any problems that they may have experienced  :-\ :y

I've lowered my MV6 estate by about 30mm but with updated shocks as well as lowering springs, and was running some Elite 17s for a while with no problems of rubbing etc. With 235/45/17 tyres.
I then went for some 19" Snowflakes from with 235/35/19 tyres and although not much clearance to the front shocks there is no rubbing either if camber is set correctly
