chrishill 0 Posted September 11, 2004 I've just bought some borbets with a et35 offset, henny mentioned I'd need spacers to get them to fit 'flush' to the arches. I've ordered some 6mm ones from euro car parts, and I know i need longer bolts to make sure they're safe, but is 6mm about right for the spacers? anyone else running et35 with 6mm spacers? what do they look like? ta!

Supercharged 2 Posted September 11, 2004 ET 35 is almost standard for 4Cyl cars (ET33) so they should not be neccessary unless the design of the wheel is causing clearence problems with the calipers... as for sitting flush with the arches, it depends on the width of the wheel...

chrishill 0 Posted September 12, 2004 the wheels are 7.5" wide Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted September 12, 2004 Thats 1 inch wider than standard so they will roughly stick out another half inch each side... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted September 13, 2004 cheers, I guess it's a 'try it and see' job. I'll try without the spacers first, if they're an inch wider i've a feeling a 6mm spacer is going to be a bit much... i like the euro look, not the dragster look!

G60Jet 1 Posted September 13, 2004 I´d personally only add spaces as a last resort. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted September 13, 2004 I only said you may want to put some 5mm spacers on to pull the wheels out towards the outside of the arches to make 'em sit a little less set in... You should just be able to plonk 'em straight on without the spacers though... 8) It's a case of "suck it and see".... :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted September 13, 2004 It's a case of "suck it and see".... tried that, alloy wheels taste nasty.... :( I'm going to give them a good clean up tonight cos they're pretty filthy then stick them on tomorrow night and see how it goes! I wasn't asking cos i didnt belive you henny :wink: I just wondered what other people had done and hoped for some pictures! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olly elworthy 0 Posted September 13, 2004 get em out to et 25 with some 10mm spacers, (preferably ones which have a spigot extension on them) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
