ET question

[Skifledanabit]

Ok, so I\'ve seen a couple of other threads about this but they apply to the FD, I basically have 30mm wheel spacers all round, I also have 25mm fender flares, I want to get some deep dish or the right sized ET wheels to fill out the flares... what can i get? what sized ET?

What size tyres do you want to run?  are these on 17" or 18"

[Skifledanabit]

17\'s, I would like the tyres slightly stretched, like this...



just not too keen on the actual rim design.

if you want to be so precise it think you\'re best off going for a tape measure.

Or you could just by something with a decent offset (Say 13-20), try fitting them. If they don\'t poke enough, throw some spacers on. When they\'re poking out you can then look to see how much stretch you\'ll need

[dthebuk]

also if you want fitment similar to that 5, you\'ll need to consider what kinda camber you want to run.

[Skifledanabit]

well obviously that\'s a way down the line, I just want an idea of what size will fill the fenders, that MX5 is an eventual thing

[the hat]

ill try get some photos of my car to give you an idea of whats on mine and how they sit

I\'ll get you a photo when I get 9.5J ET0 rims on the rear of mine

Thanks, hope to see them soon!

Fronts you can fit 8.5J ET 25 and up to 18"
Rears 9.5J and ET of 25 as well.

Just play around with the JJ and offset until you get what you want but to be honest it depends on what width tyres you want and then make your calcs based around that. I have 10J and 15 ET on the rear of mine but then I have the wider rears to cope.

I see your 10J and raise it to 12J ET 15 on ours

Ok... confuzzled now... basically, what is the max sizes I can have from a 15" wheel for front and rear on an FC, I\'m looking at bassett wheels steelies from america, they use them on the indycars, they look good too.

well i have not got pics yet sorry guys as im stuck out in the north sea again but my car has 9 inch wide wheels all round went for a high offset on the front but had to use a 5mm spacer to stop and fouling and a really low offset on the rears and stretched 215 45 17 tires

my rotas are17\'s 9.5 all round on 215 tyres and i had to get longer studs and 9.5mm spacers to clear the struts on the front.
Offset was 30 i think.
