Post by: grinder on July 25, 2005, 08:41:41 AM
im going round in circles working out what fill fit the FC and what wont

so far seen some wheels that are

and how come the number says 29-38 - i though that would be a static figure ??

thanks

 The size for the FC is indeed 114.3 ......
 The \'ET\' is the offset/inset, and yes it can range from 29-38...
 And Yes it should be a static figure.

 As you know I had a couple and all had different Alloys etc, Had a 16" set that had an offset of 38... another set, 17" with 35 offset..
 And presently 18" with a 32 offset.
 All fit really well and looked spot on as well.

 It all has to do with type/style of Rims and the diameter ( 15-16 -17 -18 etc)
   of what will fit and not rub on the Wheel Arch, struts and also how the overall look will be... as if it\'s too inset then it looks kak...

 Basically not to confuse you, if you are looking at 17" or under, then an offset of around 35 is generally fine..

 Hope it helped..
