Styling Comp Alloys

[CJ_CINQQY]

Im really after a set of compomotive MO's. However after looking on the website i can only see them offering them in a size 5.5x14. Are these to big for my cinq sporting or would there have to be any work done to the wheel arches to get them to fit? or what about these?but i think they are a tadge big

5.5x14 would be fine but depends on ET. May require spacers etc.. but widthwise that is standard width. 5.5x14 is the same size as Sei alloys. You can go up to 6.5 i think before you start to get probs..
Again this is what i think, dont quote me on that!

You should get them on no problem apart from maybe a small bit of rubbing depending on the offset and how much you lower the car.

I thought compomotive wheels were made to order. In which case just order them with the right offset..

14x6 or 14x5.5 should fit fine, 6.5 is where things start to get interesting. Anyway contact compomotive directly, they usually are the cheapest and they can make them to almost any offset on request (though for non standard offsets they may charge extra, I can't remember).

Blue has Compo MOs. Here's what Aaron (who built most of it) says:

The Compomotive Mo's as fitted to Blue are 14" 6J ET 35 with 195/45 rubber, they have 8mm spacers at front only and none at rear and there is no issue with scrubbing/rubbing and thats with a decent drop on it.

So, there you go. With those tyres, there's no rubbing, no issues whatsoever. 6J are what you need for 195 -- 5.5J I'd not use with wider than 185.

mmm, they would be the MOs he bought from me. I had them with 175/50s on, standard front spacers and no rubbage.

Sure would be , but for some reason on my car the drivers side wheel fouled the track control arm badly when turning on load or on lock on reverse until I fitted bigger spacers.

I've got the 6x14" MOs, ET35 (they do come in a wide range of offsets but NOT custom). I have 8mm spacers at the front and 3mm at the back.

The biggest problem is the damage to your credit card!!
