need a wheel expert

Post by W31jhn »

hi guys i am new here from Scotland just bought my first caddy and i love it

heres what i am trying to do: i recently bought a set of BBS rs 803 8" wide alloys they where 5x100 but a payed 60 for them

now i recently bought 20" adaptors

heres the big question will these fit or do you guys think they will stick out the arch ideally would like it to be in a bit dont want it flush with arch

only ask as i haven't got the adaptors to try yet

I think it's a typo but if you genuinely have 20" adaptors then there is zero chance you'll fit them on a caddy and be any way drivable.

Offset of the wheels is 33 if I remember correctly, so I think with a 20mm adaptor, which lowers the offset to 13, they may poke too much.

As you don't have the adaptors, can you just hang a wheel on the hub to measure? The center bore should be the same, 57.1mm
