[StevieG-09]

Think et35ish is the lowest you can go without spacers.

 

[StevieG-09]

I know the clios et is higher than 23 but I'm just wondering if I could fit wheels wth that et. I'm sure some of the euro wheels people fit have low number et. Would need spacer or something

To physically fit or be right for the car? I had et35s fitted and there was a long way to go to the arches...

 

[StevieG-09]

To be right for the car, so the 35et sat really far in did they?

Should fit if you're not lowered massively, but depending on the rim width, they might stick out of the arches. MOT fail IIRC but could just change wheels when needed. Don't know if you can get pulled for it though.

Yeh on a non sport PH1 they sat in about 2-3 cm which would equate to an et 5-15 wheel to make them touch. It did handle like it was on rails for the duration it was on the road.

When it went though, it went.

Plug some figures into this site http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp - you will need rim widths (as mentioned earlier) to get any meaningful answers.

I would just fit the wheels and see how much spacing is reqd. Spacers are easily obtainable.

 

[StevieG-09]

So using that wheel offset calculator:

Inner clearance : 20mm LESS
Outer Position: Retract by 20mm

So im guess this means the wheel will sit 20mm in to arch than it dose now.

think you have that worked out wrong mate....
whats your new wheel specs??

 

[StevieG-09]

Spec of the wheels:
Fronts - 16 x7 et. 55
Rears - 16 x 8 et. 52

 

[mat-nos]

guessing there porsche wheels??
you can get 20mm vw adaptors for them making them et32 and et35 which will sit perfect and machine 3mm off the center bore.

how are you calculating et23??

 

[StevieG-09]

Et 23 was a different set of wheels I was looking at. Yes there Porsche.
Well i can get 20mm and 15mm with them so I supose it won't be too bad if I put the 15mm on the rear because there that bit wider
