Fitting aftermarket wheels question
Hi folks,
found a set of aftermarket wheels and just wondered if I'm going to encounter any issues??
im running standard 4x4 brakes and suspension on my sapphire and have no intention of going bigger/lower
should these be a good fit??
thanks in advance.
The wheels are :
17x8"
ET 40
4x108

My only worry would be you might need a spacer to clear your spring base due to being et40, I have 8” et35 on my car but it’s 2wd

I guess when you're saying it has standard 4x4 brakes it is a Cosworth 4x4?
I have 17x8 ET35 wheels on my 4x4 Sapph with 215/40 tyres, but the front and rear arches have been rolled. I think if you use a 205/40-17 tyre the dimensions are very much the same as the standard 205/50-15, so shouldn't be a problem. But I think 215/40-17 should also not be a problem on standard arches.

Seems the UK supply of these is in fact et42 so even less chance of fitting.
hopefully I should have some bbs e50 replica wheels soon so these are not even in contention now.
