As above found some wheels I want bit they are 18x8 et35. Now I'm lead to believe standard 19s are 19x8.25 et65? Mine has 20mm spacers making them et45, using a wheel fitment calculator the 18x8 will stick out 6.2mm more then my current set up but not as far as the 17x9 et45 I know guys in Europe run. Any help would be great thanks Ps I'm on H&R springs atm but will be on coilovers
ET35 will stick out 30mm more than ET65. Adding a 20mm spacer to ET35 will make them ET15, even worse.. note i haven't taken tyre width into consideration..
Alright Matt, so currently your running the equivalent of et45 (et65 - 20mm spacers = 45) so et35 will offset 10mm more than you currently run.
I reckon you'll rub with et35 especially on coilovers and hard cornering. I'm going to be running TD 1.3's in 17x9 et45 (track wheels) next year with Clubsports or AST's
Cheers chaps a mates got a set of 17x8 et38 evo oz wheels I can have cheap so they could be great for track
Just going to put it out there, The handling is a bit "off" with low offset wheels and even with spacers. You dramatically changing the scrub radius. I ran 15 or 20mm spacers, can't remember exactly, on mine and took them off after 15mins on track. More understeer and the back just won't rotate as willingly or as easily. May be a bit better on non standard suspension but even when i get coilovers fitted to mine ill still be sticking to as close to the OEM offset as i can with some OZ's
Cheers Jamie, the spacers where on it already and don't really want to run them. I'll be trying the wheels out tomorrow so I'll see what's what
good point, Jamie... to add to that, my experience is that you also feel uneven road surfaces much more prominently through the steering wheel when running offsets significantly different to OEM.
Certain ones will, IE Proper motorsport designed wheels. extremely close though and i don't think i would ever risk it, Especially on track wheels
