For the front yeah, but to fill rear arches i'd go more. I run et25 rear which fill the arches a bit better. I did run et15 before that. Quick pic

i'd say anywhere between et32-35 and if your car is lowered you might want to correct the negative camber so the wheels sit flush.

A few people off here are using camber shims to sort this ;)

they go between the the rear hub and trailing arm damo,
washers do the same job but

Ridgey 20-12-2011 06:58 PM

If your getting 17x8 go for 225/35 tyres all round, make use of the 8 width.

That's more like it :king:

Most of the shims are for toe, nothing to do with camber at all.
