bbd ch size on lcr

[james291]

What size bbs ch do people have on there lcr i bought a set of 18x9j et35 and they fit perfect on the back but the front need 10mm spacers and then they stick out the arches by atleast a inch just want to see what size i can change my fronts for so they dont poke out by miles, thanks

You could use 5mm mate without problems

 

[james291]

10mm just clears the calipers but the wheels stick out to far from the arches

 

[Brettyboy]

I think 8J works the best with ET35 on the front

 

[james291]

Ok do u know if i would still need spacers?

With 8J ?

Even if you do to clear Brembo's you can fit 10mm spacers which would make it look good

 

[james291]

Yeh with 8j , its just with 9j and 10mm it sticks out past the wing by about a inch

 

[Brettyboy]

8J will give you less poke

What size were your old wheels ?

 

[james291]

I had standard cupra r wheels there 7.5j et 38

Personally I think the best fitting wheels are the BBS ch in 8.5j. they're perfect fitting, 57.1 5x100 8.5j et30.

That would be nice & flush with the arces

 

[james291]

Ok thanks and would 8.5j et30 clear the brembos?

 

[Brettyboy]

ET30 will give you 5mm more clearance

 

[n1ff]

People that run this have needed a 3mm spacer to clear brembos

Guys a friend at work has just bought ch reps 18x8 et35 and they don't for over the calipers. Will need a 10mm spacer then they stick out way too much. What offset does he need on the front?

 

[BEEFYGTI]

I would go for 5mm , I had 15mm on the front and they stuck out too much, but I am much happier with the 5mm

 

[Harris.]

I don't think 5 mm will be enough to clear the caliper tho. Strange.

Its is !

Surely if you had ET30 8.5j with 5mm spacer that is the same a ET35 with 10mm spacer but you have an extra 1/2" on the rim that would surely poke out more than 8J

 

[Harris.]

Trust me mate they will need more than 5 mm spacers. All I can think off is that they are reps l, but then surely et and width is the same no matter what wheel.

 

[Brettyboy]

Should be,ET30 with 5mm spacer is same as ET35 with 10mm spacer
