   Hi there! I bought my VTS a few days ago and I am total noob about it lol. The thing is I bought a new set of rims but when I tried to mount them the tire bumps into a bolt thats part of the coil. So I figured out the hard way that I need spacers. The rims are 15 inch with 195/45 tires. On the inner side it says that the ET is 4/0. Do you think that 15mm spacers will do the trick?
   
   Those are the rims if you are wondering

   Minimum you should need if it's ET40 (I guess it was a typo with the '/') would be 20mm if you have a disc axle or 25mm if drum

   Yeah its with 4 discs. No drums on the back. Btw one friend told me that rims with 6.5j and ET40 should fit fine.

   I have ET20 on one of my 106's with disc beam and here is how close it sits.
   
   
   
   And I've been told the drum beam is slightly narrow so would need the extra 5mm (I believe)
