Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 19, 2005 35 for the 4 cylinder cars and 43 for the VR6 (longer wishbones). 35 ET on 7.5/8J is fine on the VR, not sure on the G60/16V though....might need to space them out a little if you catch the tyres on the inner arches.

J1MMY 0 Posted December 19, 2005 is anyone running 9 x 16 on the back of their 'raddo? can't decide if i want to play it safe with a set of 17's and the usual offsets or go 8/9 x 16 and have some euro phatness..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm, doesnt et35 stick out further than et43 anyway? Like youd need to space an et60 wheel something like 20mm to make it et40... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J1MMY 0 Posted December 20, 2005 scarlett has 16x8's on her valver without issues, 9's have been done but IIRC you need to work out the offset carefully. hmmm need a bit of help with this then, will be fitting them onto a vr, so have 8mm offset to play with? was thinking maybe 7.5 x 16 fronts and 9 x 16 rear......and et's 20 -35 front and 15 rear. can i get away with wider onthe fronts without the rim being massively proud of the arch?

dinkus 10 Posted December 20, 2005 Legally, as long as the tyre tread doesn't protrude from the arch (when looking from above), then you're ok Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted December 20, 2005 I had 8" et32's on the front of mine and they didnt sit proud of the arches, very very close though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J1MMY 0 Posted December 20, 2005 ok cheers for that. going the other way, whats the HIGHEST et on a 8" rim i can get away with at the front without fouling? apologies - so many questions! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waz 0 Posted December 20, 2005 they would be going on a valver i thought about putting 195/45/16 tyres on would this help in the fitting department eg reduce the chance of rubbing. cheers for all the feedback i appreciate all the help thanks to all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
