Post by: Rotary_Menace on September 16, 2009, 02:05:11 PM
Will the offset of these wheels be ok for the FD


8.5x18 5x114 ET32 / 9.5x18 5x114 ET35

Will they fit under standard arches




Thanks

easy peasy.
 
i\'ve got et35 8j front and et27 9j rear, thinking of swapping the rears to the front and buying some et17 for more manliness.

It would depend on ride height and tyres. I had those sizes on ET30 and they rubbed but my car is quite low.

With the right size tyres, they\'ll go on no probs :) You may need to drop to a 225 on the rear. Man up, fit some small spacers, and roll the rear arches for proper fitment ;) :D

I\'d want a 235/245 at least on a 9.5j, 225 would look teh gey from the back!

If you were worried about fouling the suspension, I\'ve fit 9.5j et40 on the rear absolutely fine, having said that though, I sold my set of 12.5jet0/9.5jet0 rezax to a 200sx dude & the front wheel fouled his brake caliper, brake clearance varies depending on the face design :).
