Default Re: Will 21 inch wheels fit a roadster?

If the offset is very near stock (within a 5 mm each way), you should have no problems with the rim itself.

However, You WILL have serious problems fitting the front because of the distance from the tire to the upper ball joint mounting bolt and nut.

Stock leaves little clearance here, so a tire that's 0.4 inches bigger (radius) will probably be dangerously close if not hittng this bolt.

That being said, you CAN trim this bolt about a 1/4 inch.

If you get tires any larger, you'll be back to the same issue.

Good luck... Hope that helps.
