Default what rim size??

looking to buy a set of compomotive CXN wheels for my 3door cossie and wondered what size and ET they should be. I do not want to do any arch modifications.

Thanks for any advice

if u like to keep it simple, keep the ET size and the width the same as your original ones.

But some et35 and 7,5-8 J with 235 tires should be fine aswell

i don't know the et of my wheels martin at reyland motorsport orderd them for me i just told him the car they were for and he did the rest so it might be a good idea to give him a call.the size's are 7.5,17s at the front with 205 tyres and 8,17s at the rear with 215 tyres.i did have to trim the rear arches a very small amount cos they rubbed when the car squated under excelleration.

Thanks, but i live in norway,..not cheap to ship i guess

rstdaz: 205/40 front and 215/40 rear tyres?
think you can find the ET behind the centre "locking caps" on the rims..sure would help me alot!!
