I have ET35s all round at the moment but the rear wheels sit in too far on the 3dr.

What ET would bring the wheels out ?

Steve

 

ET25,the lower the number the further out it goes

Steve

 

the one that phones home? lol

 

Thanks Steve

Might buy a pair of new wheels to go on the back, i don't like the idea of spacers

Steve

 

Or buy my 8j RL7's

Steve,

Don't go higher than 16" IMHO on the 3dr, they drive superb on 16s trust me, it's not as though you have big Callipers to clear either

 

He already has 17's Pete, its Steve your talking about now, he isnt going to by 4 new wheels just two pmsl

3 door et25 rears and et35 fronts

 

ET number us the distance from the centre line of the wheel to the surface that bolts to the hub! in mM. (I think - and I am sure some one will tell us all if I am wrong!)

 

Putting camber shims in the rear beam brings them out, as you loose the camber but the top of the wheel with the angle of the shim brings it out say 20-25mm - then you could have added a 5-10mm spacer and problem solved your current rear wheels are filling the arches.

 

Best thing to do is measure how far further out you want your wheels to sit...subtract that (in mm) from your ET, and you have the ET number you want

 

i ran lenso bsx wheels 7.5x17" front and 8.5x17" rear et25 offset and 205/4017 front and 215/4517 rear and looked the tits and needed the little tag bit that hangs down on thr front to be rolled up (about 2" long)

then set the coilovers up around them and fitted a treat

 

Get these bought mate, they will look spot on

Behave, they are £400 too dear for the big lad!

 

They would look mint though and as he has gone all bufty , proper 3dr wheel

Steve

 

ET30 8J on the rear will look like this



ET25 will kill your bodykit , same as ecos wheels .been there done it

Hubcentric spacers are safe with longer studs,

Them azev alloys are not genuine azevs, I emailed them a while ago as I have one buckled azev alloy and he told me they copies

 

I'm running 8 x 17 ET17 all round on my 3 Door at the moment
