Hello,
long time since I last made a post, but still view the forum regularly.
I have purchased some new wheels from Rotiform, 21” BTLs which they said would fit… well seems they don’t. They confirmed everything with me, model, Year etc.
The offset seems far too aggressive, the rim pokes out past the arch.
Has anyone run 21x9.5 ET25? I know these are RS6 standard sizes.
The tyres I have had fitted are 275/30/21 but I don’t think even with a smaller width tyre this would ever sit inside the arches. It looks like if lowered the rim would foul the arch and after having the front end painted it’s not a risk I’m wanting to take.
I have a C7.5 BiTDI
I can’t have the backs machined as they are already very close to the caliper.
Would lowering it really bring them in 10+mm?
I’m just all out of options £1300 in tyres, £2000 for the wheels. It’s an expensive mistake.
I hope they will work with me to resolve it but I’m just seeing if anyone else has had issues with the rim size.
