I'm after info on what type of car runs this size rim. I have found plenty that run 15"x6" 30P or even 40P and 45P. Unfortunately I need something in the low 30's.

 

My car got knocked back on engineering for having 13mm too much front track. So I changed from 15" x 6.5" 25P, to 15" x 6" 30P and that got the track down by 12mm. So if the engineer wanted to be picky, he could still knock me back on the 1mm.

(I measured the above specs in real life. However i'm not sure that the online calculators back up my measurements)

 

My other option is to take my 15x6 30P rims to a wheel repairer and get 1-2mm machined off the mounting face to get me a few mm under the track limit.

 

The above is what I will be doing after the easter break, if nobody can name a wheel/car that has the sized rims i'm after.

hey kangaroosa, i take it you must have longer lower control arms that is causing the extra track?

 

not sure if cutting and shutting a control arm shorter with extra reinforcement would pass?

or use a shorter control arm? or camber pins? or offset bushes? or redrill hole mounts?

 

but yeah ford fiesta factory roll around chaser rims are 15x6, not sure on offset tho...

saab 15x6 chasers are +33p and +40p i think for early and late ones?

 

did you ask about using #e2# series variants of the car as its the same car series,

as te27/sr5 has much wider track than ke20...

I'm still running KE30 LCA's if i remember right. I recall using the sigma or even corona? LCA's gave a bunch of neg camber, hence why i stuck with using the std KE30 LCA's.

I think most of the extra track comes from using the corona struts and hub setup. They seem to be alot more chunky and have more offset (hub wise) than the smaller KE30 setup. (I havent measured this....its just how it appears to me)

 

Chopping LCA's or re-drilling holes is a definate no go.

 

The engineer is using the specs for a TE37.

I currently have 1358mm Track front and 1365mm rear.

 

So going by TE37 Specs: (+25mm Front and +50mm Rear allowed by Vicroads)

Front 1320 + 25 = 1345 (13mm under what i have)

Rear 1335 +50 = 1385 (Rear easily passes)

 

BTW, my car is a 'KE30' with 4x114.3 PCD
