Thanks, I’m a bit OCD and prefer getting the right size wheels and tyres back on, have a set of MV2’s to go on, just waiting to have new boots fitted to them next week 😀 couldn’t refuse them would have cost much more to get the 224’s refurbed 🙂

Will see what the MV2’s look like, may change back for 224’s down the line if a staggered set come up

Mv2s / 108s / 107s with the factory widths + offsets don't sit great & benefit greatly from spacers , see what you think

As above welcome to the forum. Can't beat a set of 224's on a dark coloured Zed, but then again I am biased..

I've got 15mm spacers on front with OEM 3.0 staggered rubber sizes, think it really improves the stance..

Andy, if I read that right, you're saying 12 mm spacers will fit fine on the rear of mine?
