You can buy 2 but the handling will change, not as responsive, turn in.

The front wheels will not fit without spacers even with half worn pads ?? i stand corrected but i have these exact wheels fitted. they are just worse with new pads hence the question. |

The centre bore size of these wheels is larger than the M3 hub so you will need hubcentric rings anyway, you are best to get them fitted to the spacer as one. Try wheels uk i think they are in coventry ? The reason for the pad question was if you have a newish pad the caliper rattle clip etc hits on the iner spokes of the wheel hence the spacer will be needed get 4 spacers and do the rear so as to keep the track width the same front to back, no problems with turn in when/if on track ? regards |

What ET are they, if they are the same as mine ET20 then with new Brake pads you need at least 5mm spacers, try to get them with hubcentric rings attached ? if needed that is ? bore size ? regards |
