This may be a stupid question but will et 32 be 1mm further out than et33 or does the number not
represent a measurement in mm.

I run et35 with 215x40 eagle F1 and they rubbed under heavy load:/ had to roll the arcs a bit.

Ive got 8x17 on my 3dr et35 (I think) will they be alright in there as ive no idea? Running spax shocks and springs, no coilovers. Think the fronts have a few mil spacer plates in them.
