Im thinking of putting new wheels on the my 3dr, but yet again I have forgotten the correct offsets lol!

Can anyone tell me what these are?

I have found a set of 15" the fronts are 7J ET20 and the back 8J ET15 are these any good?

CheeRS in advance

Callum.

 

They will be fine but if you wanted you could add a couple mm spacer all round to beef them out a little more but where they would be fine

Not sure how good 15" aftermarket would look on a 3dr though

 

std is ET35, so ET20 and 15 will stick out more and fill the arches better.

 

the centre line is 0, so et35 means that the face of the wheel flange is 35mm away from the centre.

et20 is 20mm away etc

 

Now thinking the same as you mate and have found the same wheel in 16"


Would 25 and 20 fit with a stretch on the rubber?

cheap and cheerful wheels

 

it says et40 on my std 3dr rims

 

could be et 40 then, as i guess i never had genuine wheels lol

but the ones i did have were et35 lol

the 8" rears filled the arches well lol

 

Is that the style of wheel your after?

Thats one in the link isn't Ford fitment

 

i always thought they were et35 but saw different when up at spesh`s the other week

got th2 et37s to go on soon though

 

.



3dr are defo ET40 positive, as are 2wd Saff.

3 door and 2wd saff are et37 and 4x4 saff is et40 ,ecos is et25

Mine are 8j et30 on the rear

et30 7j on the front and it drives and sits well


Et 15 on a 3 door will kill tyres,arches and drive like a bag of shite .

Im now on my 7th set of wheels so been there done it

 

I run 8 x 17 with ET23 on the rear and ET33 on the fronts.

Best let Ford know that the standard wheels from my 3dr have been incorrectly stamped with et40 then......

 

Those rear wheels are too wide - they will run 14mm wider than my rears which are 8.5" ET22 and my arches have been rolled to the limit and kit trimmed right back so to get thwm on your going to need to either ride with the rear on standard height or cut the complete arch off reweld the inner and outer rear quarters back together and bond your fully trimmed kit back on

If they were a rare desirable rim then you could be persuaded to do the work but for a set of wheels worth a few hundred quid and the possiblity of running in a proper size you would be mad to even bother.

I would go for a set of these in either Gold, Silver or black in 17"

Sizes i would go for an 7.5" front ET25 and 8.5" rear ET25 these have been on a 3dr on here before and sit very well on the car i'm sure i have a picture of it somewhere i will try and find it

These company's can help

This a good usable fitment for the 3dr

 

Hi. i dont know if this ill help. but ive got a 3 door fiesta 51 plate and my standard wheels are et40 and just fitted et 20 on front 7j and et 15 on thr rear 8j. the lip of the wheels poke out so i have got little strech on the alloys. hope this helps.

 

Chris,what would be the ideal tyre set up on these offsets. 235 or 215/50/17 rear and 205 or 215/40/17 fronts?

Thanks.Lee.

 

And there is so many people who would change a 3 door wheel for another 15 inch rim Et40 maybe but look how much the standard wheels sit in the arches .

 

215's on the rear and 205's on the front ,this is what i have.

 

Lee the tyre selection is based on the arches of the car - if you go for a 8.5 ET25 235/40/17 then the arches need rolling and trimmed right back

Playing around with the offset even dropping back to a ET30 would give you 5mm extra space

Also the height of the car plays a part in it.

Lee what you thinking mate?

 

mine was on 235/40/17 rear and 215/40/17 front ET35

arches were rolled all round and kit trimmed etc



and here it is with a 30mm spacer on the rear making them ET05 lol
