Hey MOMS,

I have a question about the wheel setup you posted on the 6/MS6 Wheel Photo Thread. You said they were Rota Tarmac 3 18 x8 +35mm.

I've been looking at a the ROTA SVN that are 18 x 8.5 +48mm but according to my calculations and comparison to stock speed6 setup, it appears that the wheel lip will project beyond the edge of my rear fenders by about 3/16" and 5/16" at the front. Although your wheels are narrower, your stated offset of +35mm would cause yours to project even further then the ones I am considering. According to my estimate, yours would project about 1/2" beyond the rear fenders.

Could you confirm if this is the case?

Also, when you rolled the fenders, did you just bend the inner lip or did you actually slightly push the arch of the fender outward to cover the tire?

Do you have any close up photos of the tire to fender conditions at front and rear?

Thanks in advance.

I have found this to be pretty nifty......... for anyone........ it seems nearly 100% accurate.

you enter your stock tire/wheel size compared to the new tire/wheel size you're considering.

and it belays the information to you telling you just how far or not far your new wheel and tire setup will sit from the stock.
 
no problem, glad to share with my brethren......... took me like 3 months of searching to find that s***........ i figured.... they have hp to torque to weight converters i know they have a tire one out there!! (rofl2)
