just to give you an idea the below are: 18x8.5j, ET30.....

therefore, not quite sure why you would want a higher et!!! :eek

at the moment i have et 32
but these wheels are really ugly
i can get some nice buddyclub p1 racing 2 plus
but the et of these wheels would be 42 or higher because there are fitted on an subaru impreza
therefor i want to know what the maximum et is that i maybe can buy these wheels

received, understood and see where you\'re coming from ( although, would advise not to go too high, bcoz they\'ll look pants! and more importantly, scooby pcd is diff 5 x 100 I think ?! )

Think link might help you with your decision......

Njoy: ;)

Totally depends on what wheel width they are - if they\'re 12j\'s you\'ll have issue, if they\'re 7j\'s you\'ll be dandy.

Newage Scooby\'s (About 04 I think? Can\'t remember) are 5x114.3, but as Epic Phil says, earlier ones are 5x100 so will need PCD adapters.
