Ben Seabrook 4 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 hubcentric ones - H&R are very good just depends how much wider you want the wheels to site mate ? stick a close up pic of the wheels and will have a look for you Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 need the ET of the wheels as well Link to post Share on other sites

b19drg 0 Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Ill get a pic up tomorow as dont have one on my computer, are they safe to use ? Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 yes mate I would say they are safe as long as they aren't too wide and are hubcentric ones - et is the offset of the wheels http://www.driverstechnology.co.uk/wheel-offset.htm Link to post Share on other sites
b19drg 0 Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Oh there was 5x100 on the inside of the wheel would that be the offset ?? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 ET on RX2 are 42 ish if i remember. So yes can space em out a bit. Just depends how far you wanna go. Id go no more than 10mm myself Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Oh there was 5x100 on the inside of the wheel would that be the offset ?? nah mate that's the stud pattern - as Craig says depending on the width the ET is around 40 so you do have some room for manouvere but yeat prob got a choice of 5,10 or at most 15mm Link to post Share on other sites
b19drg 0 Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 cool ill post a pic tomorow and see if you think 10 will be enough Link to post Share on other sites
vr6stormt 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 i was hoping to get the same advice i have a set of 16"league 5 spokes i think they are 35 whats the max spacer i can use, cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 cool ill post a pic tomorow and see if you think 10 will be enough 10mm won't make a huge difference. I'd say 15mm front and 25mm rear. Link to post Share on other sites

vr6stormt 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 the rears have got 205 45s on and fronts are 195 45s Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Thats tyre size, do you know what the wheel width is? I reckon with those sizes they'll be about 8" but it should be stamped on the inside it'll say 16x8J or similar Link to post Share on other sites
vr6stormt 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 yep your right i rember last time they was off it says 16x7j Link to post Share on other sites
