jedi-knight83 0 Posted August 24, 2004 pcd for a vr6 is always 5x100 as for the offset you want something around et35 ish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted August 24, 2004 ET43 for a VR... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted August 24, 2004 but on 7 inch wide you wouldnt want 43 would you?! youd want 35. max 38 is to avoid catching the shock / spring Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted August 24, 2004 Hmmm... Well, the 16v is running 7" with ET35. The VR is running 7" with ET42. The 16v does have coilovers though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted August 24, 2004 You should get the correct offset for your car Pablo - with Performance Alloys you specify the car you own, so they can make sure they deliver the correct offset for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pablo_vr6 0 Posted August 24, 2004 i specifed et37 :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted August 24, 2004 The VR is running 7" with ET42. Do the tyres rub on the chassis on full lock ?? Now I've finally sorted my suspension out, I'm replacing my 7x17's (ET37) with ET25's later this year 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 24, 2004 ET43 is the standard VR offset but that's based on a 6.5 J rim. If you use a 7" rim, you need to move the wheel out 5-6mm, so anywhere around ET 38 is fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
