Curtis Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 go for the et 43 bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie1.3i Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 another thing what is et is that how much the wheel stick of of the arches ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 the easyest way to explain it is if you turn the wheel round so yu would be looking at the side where the tyre goes, if you drew a line down the centr of the wheel that would be et0. all the et is is how far the centre of the wheel where the hub mounts has been removed from the back, e.g et43 means 43mm has been removed form the centre line in the rim.its bloody hard to explain on the internet lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Im pretty sure its the offset of the wheels,if its to far out they will scrape when low, you can only really go plus or minus 7 from manufacturers spec, so if toyota is et45 you can go et38 or et52Might not be exact but its an exampleGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 it is the offset but go for et43 or you will have rubbing problems, i have et40 on mine and that is the correct offset for a starlet.the lower the et number the more the wheel sticks out from the arch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 yes the closest to the standard ET the betterGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 but if you have the choise with 37 and 43 go 43 because you can always use 3mm spacers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 yes i would pick 43 aswell, im sure my rotas were 43 but cant really rememberGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Curtis Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 make sure you get some 54.1 spiggot rings or your wheels will fall off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ep82 gtt Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 make sure you get some 54.1 spiggot rings or your wheels will fall offthats a bit extreme they won't fall off buddy.maybe a higher possibilty to but don't worry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 that what one of my customers said the day before his rear wheel overtook him at a juntion, he come in the followng day to get some and the words i told you so just didn't quite cut it. the spiggot ring is designed to sit nice on the hub to take the strain of the weight of the car, if there is a gap there will be strain on the wheel nuts rememer the nuts are only screwed on and excess pressure on them will unwind them.i sell performance parts for a living and been doing i for quite a few years so i do know what i am talking about.

Curtis Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 you will prob find that they won't fit, the external sizes are almost always different from make to make Quote Link to post Share on other sites
