chad94 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hi guys.. I'm thinking of changing my wheels relatively soon. I would like As wide wheels as possible to fill the arches nicely. I've seen a few sets that are 8j wide et 0mm which I presume will be too wide without archwork being done? Anyone have any idea what fitment will be ideal? Prefer 15's if possible.. Any advice much appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 It all depends on how low your car is at the time. With coilovers and an adjustable panhard rod I think 8j ET25/30 is about the limit before rolling if you are lowered.ET0 will certainly require panhard rod, arches rolled etc. Hope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Even at 8j et 25 you'll need your archers rolled unless your running tractor ride hight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chad94 Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Cheers guys! Looks like I'll have to look elsewhere for wheels as I'm not planning on rolling the arches.. Much appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JayJ Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 15x8 et0 will poke out 25mm more than 15x8 et25 and that will poke out 12.7mm more than 15x7 et25 and that will poke out 13mm more than 15x7 et38. Complicated enough? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
