catwoman 0 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Hi,I am trying to get a set of 17's for my VR6 but i do not want to use spacers I tryed a second hand set the other day in a ET35 but they hit the caliper &| Can anyone advise a way around this or a good looking wheel i could get???Also would a ET38 move it closer to the caliper or further away??Thanks in advanceCatwoman Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 the higher the ET the more into the car the wheel is. but, if you're hitting the caliper its actually prob just the design of the wheels, the ET wont really effect it. Link to post Share on other sites

acf8181 0 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 only if they are cheapo ones, they need to be hubcentric (so specially designed for the mkIII) Link to post Share on other sites
MK2R32 0 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 If you hadn't noticed on sunday, I'm using spacers on the front of my car to get the 4pot Brembos on, I've had no problems yet with them, except you must remember to check the wheel nuts regularly, as a couple of times they have worked them selves loose. But I surpose having only 4stud hubs with large amouts or power on tap also makes a difference. Link to post Share on other sites
