Just wondering if anyone knows where the 'ET' stamp will be on a Raceline RL7...
Got a spare set, but can't remember what offset they are. Can't get to them to check at the moment, but thought I'd ask first....

Thanks

 

R u selling them mate are they 18s

 

Sorry, they're 7 x 17's

Was maybe thinking of selling them, not sure what they're worth. I need to have a think...

 

On the front of the wheel, near the outer edge between the spokes, I don't know how else to describe it, but it should be easy to find.

 

Some ain't marked, my 18" RL7's don't have any markings at all.

 

Rog, thanks, I was thinking that, as I don't remember seeing anything on the back of the spoke..

Andy, I was afraid someone would say that! Thanks, hopefully ill find something, if not, have to measure it...

 

i have half a dozen sets and none of em are marked

sorry

out with the tape and straight edge

 

Arse! Couldn't be easy!? Think I've got the receipt for them somewhere....
If not, ill measure it and do the maths!

Cheers guys!

 

As above, measure them, easy enough.

@ Gus

Do you have any 18's not in use, need 1 spare

 

nope no 18's

wouldnt ,mind set for my fez

 

Am I right in thinking its the distance from mounting face to the outer rim?

 

First, measure the overall width of the wheel (remember, just because a wheel is 18x7.5, does not mean that the OVERALL width is 7.5”. It means that the measurement between the outboard flange and the inboard flange is 7.5”). Next, divide that width of the wheel by two; this will give you the centerline of the wheel.
Overall width/2 = Centerline
After determining the centerline, measure from the hub-mounting surface of the hub to the edge of the inboard flange (if the wheel were laying flat on the ground – face up – your measurement would be from the ground to the hub-mounting surface). This is your back spacing.
Back spacing - Centerline = Offset

 

Great post. Very helpful, thanks!

 

My RL7's have no offset marked either. Am interested if anyone has a set of 7 x 17's for sale? Will be fitted to 2wd saff so offset somewhere around 35 - 45 I think?
cheeRS

 

you and me both

 

Just measure them, very easy to work out

 

Thanks for that! Mine are 7x17, might be think about selling them, as they don't fit over my AP's....
(Which may make them not worth much!?)

 

what size brakes have you then?

thought you could get big ap's behind 17's

 

Not sure of the AP part number, but they're 4 pot TVR Calipers, (same as a Clio V6) with 330 mm discs. Offset wasn't quite big enough to clear. Might do with some spacers I guess? Once I can get the car out the garage, ill get them out and decide what to do with them...
