might fit on rear with subtle mods, will hit the strut on front, so would need bolt on spacer and guard flaring
You wont be able to find a 175/50/15 that wont cost a million bucks, just run 195/50's they sit so good on 9's.
If you can't fit your rims with that stretch and a rolled and lipped guard then you need to buy a higher offset rim or modify the guards more.
14's are an easier fit with ke guards as they are smaller than 86 guards though finding tires is becoming a hassle.

wots the legal maximum width for sprinters?
I had the "official" width written somewhere as my old sprinter, was defected for wheels being out of track* and noise 94dB many years ago :lol: would have to dig it up, funnily the cops vehicle spec book only had wheelbase and track listed for it an no eyebrow height
* note: this is not the max width of the car commonly listed in the vehicles overall dimensions, but rather the measurement of the centre line wheel to wheel (i.e. the mid point of the wheel offset is taken from)
Its around 10 to 15mm more track than stock is allowed (can't remember exact figure), and no more than 25mm less than stock. So pretty much its gonna be illegal if you want you car to look any good and run wide rims.

There we go, 26mm over stock track then.

this seems to be the right place to post this ( i searched but the new search thing is hard to work)
I'm looking at some new rims for the car.. there are 2 sets that I'm lookig at...
1) 16x8 +10.... (i no they are 16's don't flame me, they are cheap)
will these fit under stock guards, ive just got so mild susp mods, shorter shocks and some harders springs, the car isnt too low)
2) 15x7.5 -5 is the other set.. again.. will these fit oK?
sorry for the newbish question, but I'm not totallly down with offsets etc
Insert witty comment here....
hmm the 16's will be backspaced by 110mm. sounds like alot to me. would prob hit ur strut. have a look on the offset calculator or just measure it urself
stroked 2L ca18-ae86 in the build...eta xmas 2012?
yeh thats that i was thinking... ive got some bolt on spacers for the front the could solve some problems..
the 15' would be pretty much fine tho yeh?
Insert witty comment here....
