Default What is the correct ET for a S2

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 ??

"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...

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.

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