Hey guys!
after having my 156 Gta now for 2months ive done a few changes and the soundsystem was the first and now i have bought rims and tyres.
The rims are a Set of custom black painted BBS Challenge CH002 = 8.5"X18" ET30.
According to one reliable rim/tyre shop in stockholm they told me after ofcourse checking up with alfa romeo and with bbs thoose rims should fit, even if i have a set of 330mm breaks.
i went and bought a set of tyres in the sizes of 225/40 18" and i also order a set of bolts/"center rings" since the rims are 5/100. So now on wednesday the rims are supposed to get mounted on the car BUT! after calling the same store that told me that thoose rims should work on the car they instead do a turn and tell me that thoose rims are to big/width.
Meaning that they will be hitting the inside plastic cover, BUT its no problem, we can fix that for you by heating the plastic up and modify it
meaning another extra to pay
so my question is now, does anyone have a set of 8,5x18" "et30" on a 156 GTA with 330mm breaks, if so did you have to modify, if not what did you do?
a friend of mine asked me if a set of 215/35 18" could work so the tyres get stretched.... any thoughts regarding that? since its still a few mm that dif bettwen 8,5" / 8"
and also last but not least a set of coilovers would it really help one from not having to modify the cover around the wheels? cause if im right, putting a set of coilovers would just mean adjustable height... and since its 8,5 and not 8" its a matter of width?
please any pointers or comments are helpfull
thanks again for a amazing site/forum
