I have got a set of Speedline alloys that will not fit on my new car as the callipers are to big. (I ashore you I have try everything)It is a MY99 turbo with 4 pot brakes. they are 17” and in excellent condition they have never been curbed. There is only one that is showing a tiny bit of damage and that’s the left front, it looks like its come from stones hitting the wheel. I will take some close ups of the damage and send it via email. They have Pirelli tyres on and all have plenty of life left in them.
If you what to ask any more Q’s email me
Oh nearly forgot the price, I would like near £490 the set
I’m willing to ship them but it will cost quite abit.

Sorry if the pics abit on the large side. ;D



Thanks

What damage is there to the one you mentioned?

I am interested.

Will these fit a MY99???

And is price negotaiable? I work about 5 miles from H Wycombe

 

As it has been pointed out in the advert, these wheels will not clear the 4-pot calipers on the MY99/00 car.

The offset and the design to not allow enough clearance! You'll need to run something like 5mm spacers on the front to compensate for this!

Although it will fit over 2 pot brakes. I know, I've been there!!

Sorry Andy I fail to see in the advert where it says it will not fit a MY99 car with 4 pot brakes. I noticed the user name however a username cannot be used as a way of guessing what car that user has.!!

 

Sorry goonasuk, Thanks for pointing it out. But now it's all fixed
I should have made it more clear in the post. This is coming from some one how tryed to buy full turbo engine to find out it was just the turbo itself forsale.Doh

 

I'm sorry, I thought I was being helpful! Ok what I should have said is:

* I see that the user has upgraded his brakes to larger one and was unable to fit these wheels over the top.

* You mention that you had a MY99 car (which has 4-pot Subaru brakes)

* I know these wheels will not clear your calipers (in fact they will not clear Subaru 4 pots and most of the aftermarket kits as well)

* I know these wheels will clear Subaru 2 pot brakes and a specific Brembo brake kit that Scoobysport sold in the past.

* I give you a solution that will allow you to use these wheels with your standard brakes!

I'm sorry if these seems out of line!

Mate, it's not be an arsey reply!! It was an apologetic one!

Although re-reading it I can see what you mean (although I can't be arsed to change it!!!)

 

Cant these go on a 99/00 car with spacers ?

 

Andy Tang says that you need about 5MM spacers for them to fit.
You may need to get longer bolts so that the nuts will fit securely.
If you would like some more detail pics email me.
Thanks

If you have tried everything, did you try spacers?

If so how where they

 

I really didn't want to go with spacers and I would like to get some think a little different.

 

So can you by these with the correct offset so that you do not need spacers? Only asking cos i have an MY99 and these were the wheels I was planning to buy.

 

BTTT

 

Andy,

There is no need to sound arsey about this....

I was just making it clear that I was not to know that he drives the same model car as me therefore his wheels would not fit, thats all not having a go etc. BTW Thanks for a solution

Anyhow BTT for you DBM - and guys very helpful lad wo responds to e-mails quickly
