Faisal Hamed 10 Posted December 6, 2013 The car has a 30mm drop, I'm thinking of changing the current alloys, will 8" wide give me any issues? Also what sort of offset should I be going for to avoid rubbing/issues etc... Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dude VR6 0 Posted December 6, 2013 I`m running 8x17 on my car, and have no problem with rubbing. Make sure that the ET is right for your car, I`m running ET 32. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faisal Hamed 10 Posted December 6, 2013 What range of Ets will fit without issues? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted December 6, 2013 I'm running 17x8 ET35. No issues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dude VR6 0 Posted December 6, 2013 I wouldn't want any more that ET35, so 35 or less. But to much poke and you'll have to flare your arches. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude VR6 0 Posted December 6, 2013 They should be fine, if not, you can always use a 5 mm space either side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coullstar 0 Posted December 6, 2013 Yes, it would take them to Et33. Ive used Et35 with zero issues. In fact my 8x17in Et35 wheels are for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted December 7, 2013 Mine are 8x17 I think the offset is 33. I run 205 tyres on the front as 215s rubbed occasionally Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faisal Hamed 10 Posted December 9, 2013 Seen some 17x7.5 et30...., will these be ok with 205/40 tyres?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faisal Hamed 10 Posted December 9, 2013 Yes, it would take them to Et33. Ive used Et35 with zero issues. In fact my 8x17in Et35 wheels are for sale. What are they? Are they 4x100? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faisal Hamed 10 Posted January 13, 2014 What about ET20, will they work. I've seen some Azev As off an E30 that I quite fancy... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faisal Hamed 10 Posted January 14, 2014 Interesting site. I'll have to check the offset on the current wheels. I'm not so sure how it all works but will try and make sense of it all.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faisal Hamed 10 Posted January 14, 2014 Anyone done this or know what ET range is suitable for the 2.0 16v??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faisal Hamed 10 Posted January 15, 2014 They will be sticking out I would have thought Is that a bad thing, should it be avoided? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
