marcus 0 Posted February 24, 2005 Aftelooking at wheels for a month, ive finally found a 4stud set i like and a reliable company to supply (after so many unreliable, incompetent, useless retailers) BUT i now dnt know wether to go 8x16 for the rears????? or 7s all round? Also if 8s will go straight on with no problems? finally is anyone certain what ET i need??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3RKD 0 Posted February 24, 2005 8"s should go on fine with correct offset. =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 24, 2005 The front and rear size is your choice at the end of the day but 8s all round should be OK, they certainly are on the VR. It also depends on your ride height, if you're really low you might run into fouling issues. A normal 40mm drop and you'll be fine. Offset....I'd say 30 for the 8s and 35 for the 7s.

thorpey 0 Posted February 24, 2005 i have 16 by 9inch borbets A's on mine and suspension is lowered 65mm but the arches have been rolled on front and cut out on back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted February 24, 2005 im running 8x16's all round on standard suspension. et 35 front. et33 rear. 195/45 tyres at a slight stretch,and im a million miles from having problems :lol: im guessing i wont have problems when i drop it maybe 60-70. so tyre choice could help if you want to go pretty low.

Riley 0 Posted February 25, 2005 id liked to have gone for 9x16's really,still might do... would 9x16 et 35 cause problems? i know it would be a case of wheel to shock/inner arch clearance but? neil. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
