age old question... Will these wheels fit??

[darrenh]

Won't mention the actual wheel incase I can't get them and it'll just annoy me more

They are 17 x 7.5 et45. They're 4x100 which I know is OK... it's the offset I'm concerned about.

As I understand it, the wheels will sit more in the arch than normal (???) - so will spacers cure the problem if so, what size will I need?

Please help - i'm pulling my hair out trying to find a wheel that I like (that will fit!)

yes will fit, but you might need spacers to bring them done to et37ish

 

[darrenh]

would 10mm be enough/too much?

 

[darrenh]

bump for some more help pls...

 

[nev]

isn't et38 standard size? just use 10mm and get some longer bolts

 

[darrenh]

The wheels are 7.5" wide - with 10mm spacers, won't they be uber close to the arches? (on the back)... I intend to lower it in the not too distant future.

How many times have I told you? just get the Super GT's

 

[darrenh]

they're too much wonga, PLUS these ones will look far nicer

 

[Big_Lad]

You'll be forever wondeing if you made the right choice.

Post a picture so we can all see.

 

[darrenh]

not until they're on laddy!!!

I'll not regret getting these ones - they're made by just as reputable company as OZ and £300 cheaper!! And possibly lighter

Just need a little help from SOMEONE about the offset PLEASE

 

[Big_Lad]

Wolfrace?

Have you had a search through the forum on offsets, I was looking at this a while back (year or so) theres a thread somewhere that'll help you out.

 

[darrenh]

Wolfrace my arse!!

I've found a thread with a chap with 18's with et45, but tyre width and spacers weren't mentioned.

I'm guessing a 5mm spacer would be OK... but I'd quite like to find someone who's done it!

 

[Big_Lad]

Is that what you're after then 18's?

 

[darrenh]

No Stupid_Lad... 17", 4x100, 7.5" wide, et45.

I just need someone that's done it - that can't be a rare size wheel?

Someone must be able to help me?????? AGH!!!!!

 

[Big_Lad]

I'm pretty sure you'll need a spacer, and if this is correct, an 8mm spacer for example will bring the offset down to et37.

i've got et37 on my car and they don't touch the arhces as well as being lowered.

 

[darrenh]

I can only seem to find 10mm spacers in a quick look... but I am in course (in the front row)
