Default ET40 wheels on a 2wd Saff....

What is the ET size for a 2wd Saff, and will ET40's go on ok?/How will they look?

Also does anybody happen to know is Masitaly wheels will fit 330mm disc's and AP 4Pot calipers behind them?


Cheers,

Charlie

I have Masitaly VT5s and VT7s on both of my 4is and the offset is 35

I don't know if the brakes will fit

et35's are a bit much aren't they?
i have normally gone for an et40-41 and haven't had a problem
although in saying that, i'm running et45's with 15mm spacers on one of my sierra's and it required a little bit of arch rolling to fit

The ones I'm looking at are ET40 Steve.

But if I use spacers that would help surely? Would ET40 wheels with 2mm spacers then be the same as ET38 for example?

Or is it not measured in mm's?


Cheers

17" Masitaly VT5's


But I've been told the ET on them was ET40, and I was expecting them to be ET35. I thought they'd just not stick out so much?


I'm trying them on Sunday because obviously the brakes are an issue!!

I know Ian, the current wheels do have AP 4pot's and 330mm's on, but because of the front brakes the front wheels are pitted quite badly in some places. And I'm just fed up with it because nothing can get it off


And I think the Masitaly's will suit it just as well providing they fit
