   I'm planning to put 15" OEM VTS wheels and I would like to know will they fit on flatty because I'm going on hub adapters 3 to 4 stud which are 20mm (or 30mm, not sure) wide? Tyres are 195/45-15 and will lower it for 40-50mm...
   
   Will they fit with these hub adaptros on flat arch?
   
   Thanks!

   I've just put some 3 stud 15"'s on my flatty with only 6mm of spacing and they rubbed occasionally on the inside lip of the arch (could see where the metal of the arch had been worn), just hammered it out the way, but not sure what yours will be like...

   That was what I didn't want to know :/ I'm also thinking that 20-30mm will be too much Will wait what others think...

   Check out usernames greensaxo and Adsayer to find flatties with vts rims
   
   Won't fit with spacers/adaptors though without arch work. Easier to convert to 4 stud with new hubs and beam

   Yes, it's easier but it cost 4x more! Here, in Croatia so I wanted to put hub adapters (found them cheap)
   
   I saw those cars before, but I wanted to know will they fit with 20-30mm spacers. I would like to do arch work but I think that wheels will be too much out of arches.

   Me again
   
   Hub adapters/spacers are 16mm, so will the 15" OEM VTS wheels fit with 195/45-15 tyres without rubbing? And I want to lower it about 40mm...
   
   Thanks!

    If you lower it, yes they will rub.
    
    I had 3 stud 195/55/15's on mine and they rubbed like foook if there was more than 2 people in the car or you went over a bump..

    Yes, but 55 profile is tooo high, I'm going on 45..I saw somwhere on saxp that you can cut some arch (like it's on vtr/s arches) to fit without rubbing?

    I just put my 3 stud Flatty 15 "pitch with only 6mm, they occasionally rub on the lips, inside the arch, which has just finalized the way, but do not know what you would like ...
