Will 8 x 17" ET38 (ET18=adapters) wheels fit my Rado ?

[BigTartanJudge 0]

Hi all,

 

Can anyone confirm if a set of 8 x 17" ET38 wheels would fit onto the C, using a set of 20 mm adapters (ET18) to change the stud pattern from current to 4 x 100 or 5 x 100 PCD ?

 

Would you need to do any arch mods (car would be running H&R coilovers all round, VR6 topmounts, uprated bushes and poss. Eibach ARB's) ?

 

Cheers

Ive got 7.5x17 that are ET52 with 25mm adapters on to make them fit and change stud pattern from 5x130 to 4x100. These completely fill the arches and do catch a little on the back, bearing in mind it is lowered fairly significantly on coilovers. So with 8x17 I say at a minimum you'd need the arches rolled!

If it's just arches that need rolled then that will be fine just don't want to get these rims and then find they won't fit without MAJOR arch / mod. work

 

Cheers
