Capri Hub Offset vs Escort 2ltr Hub Offset

Hi Guys,

I have a set of 5.5 SAAB 15" alloy rims with an offset of ET40.

I tried to fit them onto my capri coilover conversion but the strut body fouls on the tyres.

Just for fun I fited them onto the 2ltr struts that are in the car ansd they fit. Allbeit with about 3-4 mm clearance.

Does the capri hub have a smaller offset then the escort one? (Meaning it sits closere to the strut)

Last question, are wheel spacers as bad as everyone says they are?

Cheers,

Matt

    I think the Capri struts have more camber causing tyres to rub on the tube..
