I have searched the forum but cannot find anything om the standard ET for the S2.

Could someone tell me what it is ?

And should i change the ET if i go for a set of 17" and a big brake kit like Hispec 300mm 4 pot ??

Whats ET mean?

 

"The offset is described by the term ET, which is from the German word 'Einpresstiefe' translated as 'insertion depth'." Measured in millimeters.

I always thought it was ET35 on an RS turbo...

 

ET36.5 is stamped on the face of the standard s2 wheel

 

Thanks

But if i was to buy some 17" Team Dynamics Pro Race 1 with ET36.5 would there be enough space betwen the rim and a big brake kit from Hispec or Tarox ??

 

I have them wheels in 16inch ET38! Perfect

 

I wouldnt buy any brakes off Low Spec,either they wont fit,or you'll never get them till months after the supposed delivery date.Do a search on here and see all the negative posts about them.Regards,Micky

There is no "correct" offset once you start going to bigger rims.

The recommended offsets are Et35 - ET45. Depending on how low you are, whether you arches are ground/rolled, choice of tyres etc, will all affect what offset you can use successfully.

 

my et (insertion depth) is also measured in millimetres lol

 

OK thanks everybody, seems like i should go for an ET38 and use a spacer if the brakes are to close to the rim.
