Et45

[Hayz]

I've fallen in love with a set of Team Dynamics ProRace 1 in white.

The site I found them on only selling them with ET45, they also say that this will fit my car.

1999 Seat Ibiza Cupra GTi.

What will I need to make these fit?? Spacers?? I'm crap with wheels.

Hope you can help.

Also if anyone has a set of these wheels, I'd like to know what their like - whether the alloy is soft??

hey... I dont know if this helps...but i recently had a dilema where i bought a set of 17" that turned out to be ET45...so to cut a long story i fitted 5mm spacers to stop the rub on the suspension and had to trim some of the inner arch...look mighty fine tho...white wheels kick ass!

What is the correct offset for a mk2?

 

[davidol]

they should just about fit (assuming were talking about 17" here) but they'll look really inboard and will possibly rub the suspension legs, i'd be tempted to run 10mm hubsentric spacers

 

[Hayz]

Erm no not 17's. They will be 15's, I believe that the correct offset is 38??

ET35-38 is the correct offset.

15" wheels with an ET45 offset, 'should' be ok with 10mm spacers..... taking the offset back to ET35.....

Ta.

Someone was saying it makes the bearings go quicker and shears the bolts. This makes me nervous about putting them on, as I don't want to break my hubs or anything lol.

Also will 7j fit??

[andyj]

you'll be ok as long as you use hubcentric spacers, and longer wheel bolts.

7J 'should' fit, but it may be a case of trial and error with regards tyre size....

as long as you're not lowered too much, you should be ok

How can u measure the offset of your wheel out of interest?

 

[Dolly_Gti]

using spacers can cause the ball joints to wear quicker.

 

[davidol]

to measure offset measure from the centre of the inside of the wheel (i.e. half the width) to the back of the wheel face where the wheel meets the hub, this measure in millimeters is your offset

 

[Hayz]

Right im getting those wheels they are 7x15

will 205/50/15 tyres fit under the arches without anywork?

Maybe a bit late for this but i have a set of 7 * 17 35 offset on my ibiza and had no problems atall, used the standard wheel bolts the lot, the only mod i had to do was the spigot rings purelly because the shop didnt have the size i required. but you will be fine with a 45 offset honestly

Doesn't matter now I have the wheels that i liked coming in the perfect offset and everything.
