I think the rears will be ok, im more concerned that the fronts might catch the spring or bottom ball joints ...

What Laurel do you have ? I have a C32 lowered a bit and running 7.5 x 17's on the front and 8 x 17's on the rear with 215 tyres allround. I can whip a wheel off and check the offset if it would help ?
From memory i thing they are Et25 front and Et28 rear but don't quote me, i am also running 25mm spacers on the front and 30mm on the rear.

And your right ofcourse .. lol ... Its running with 14x6, 105 out, Scimiter Wolfrace wheels with 185 section tyres at the moment, not that thats helping me right now ..  |

well 105 out is something like et-5 or something like that. so something with a zero offset will be similar to what you've got. thing is, tyre choice really makes a difference as to what will fit. the 8x15 et0 wheels and slightly streached 195 50 15 tyres fitted my C230 laurel easy (hench why i told you to buy em ) but if the same wheels were fitted with 225 60 15 tyres they would have rubbed the struts and the arches. |

Ok, being doing some research and there are Laurel C130's running 14x7, ET +23, and with the standard front shocks / springs.
So im thinking a 15x7, ET +20 and with the right tyre should be ok .... According to my measurements i would need close to 115mm from the hub mounting face inwards to be clear, which i think might be ok on my car.

This is the wrong thread to discuss fitment of your c130 wheels! ,,,,but as we are on the topic now (lol) you need to explain how close to the wheel arch you want the alloys to sit.? If all you want them is to clear the struts and are not bothered that the wheels are say 1" inward from the arch, hey its easy to find a set of wheels to do the job! |

I can always put 1" spacers on if they are too far in. |
