Wheel question with photo

Hi, I have a 2007 2.2 TD4 FL2. Just bought 16 inch wheels for it to fit some Maxxis Worm drives. Is this a bit tight for the caliper to wheel distance? The wheel balance weights rub slightly but can get them moved. Does anyone else have 16 inch wheels on their FL2?

The 16" wheels need conventional knock on weights, as room is very limited.

I don't like the 16" rims myself, they look much too small for the vehicle IMO, but each to their own.

Cheers for reply buddy.

Ah I see, well this is for my ATs/winter tyres where I prefer less wheel and more tyre! My road tyres are 235/65/17 and going to 235/70/16 for the ATs so pretty much the same diameter (2mm) difference. Thanks for help buddy I’ll ensure the tyre fitters know to put on the knock on weights! Sam
