yeah... short happiness... i had to remove them, because of scratching sound they made... need some at least 1cm spacers, longer bolts for spacers, longer bolts for alloys and some center ring. central hole of alloy is 2mm bigger, so only bolts were holding tire... argh...

 

[barchetta_97]

Whats the ET number on those? are they 7 or 7.5"?

 

[F4usT]

i have no idea...
heres the link for adjusting : http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp
can you, please, give me dimensions of originals?

 

[HP]

The original steel wheels are 6.5x15" et32mm if I remember right. Anyone confirm?

 

[F4usT]

by those measurements i have to put 1.5cm spacers... please corect me if i put wrong values...

Clearance:
Suspension Assuming that this is OEM wheel/tire and there is no any problems with clearance on both sides Package is 13 mm (0.5'') closer to suspension/brakes components. Acceptable for most cars.

 

[HP]

Assuming the original 32mm offset is right and if there aren't any clearance issues, I'd be tempted to go for 8mm spacers. This would keep the centre lines of the tyres in the same place as the originals and preserve the geometry.

 

[F4usT]

i tried with 5mm spacers and still was not enough... probably will go with 1cm... hm.hm...

 

[KC3]

Not sure if this will help any, but my rims are 17x7 et35 . Tyres 215x40x17

On the rear i have additional 20mm hub spacers and the wheels are still within the arch, believe i could have even gone to 25mm without any issues.

Surely any widening of the track only helps to improove the B's handling.

%#$:bang:##"$... she left me on the road. no response to gas pedal, revs on minimum... i can start engine, but it works like tractor and shakes for 10 second then die... doubt on the air flow... have anybody similar symptoms?

 

[HP]

Check the air ducting hasn't come off or split, assuming yours has the separate air flow meter near the air filter like mine.

i think is fuel pump... I'm not hear it anymore... :bang:

Love the OZ superturismos. I bought some new 17" for my previous Alfa 145 cloverleaf which cost me a small fortune but looked amazing. I sold them with the car before I got the barchetta. Now I'm gutted as they would have fitted the b perfectly

Sorry to hear about the trouble you've had. If you need advice on the fuel pump removal feel free to ask, I have been there and done that!

Ad.
