Will 16" Spiders, as fitted original to Tuscans, fit ok on 4.2 cerbera without any suspension mods, spacers or grinding bits off the hubs etc?

Should do, I've used Tuscan 16" RL7s on my car. The only issue with them was the offset is different front and rear, so the rear tyres rubbed a little (until I ground the arches down a bit).

16" spiders may be different of course.

Hi Simon, how are the new wheel and tyres going now you have used them a bit more?

They seem really good, I've finally got the hub centering rings from the suppliers, but have yet to fit them (the rings, I've used plastic shim for now...).

I've probably done about 3-400 miles and the tyre and wheel combination seem fine, seems better than before (but I have to say that don't I )

Grip and handling seem improved, as does the ride bizzarely, guess sticking to the same profile as the 16" helps.

Pics to follow when I can find someone with a decent camera.

Yes, direct fit - no arch grinding required!

Are those 16 inchers on your profile on the blue cerb?
