9j ET15 Borbet A's - More Help Needed!!!

[david.hanagan 0]

Hi all

Just after some help/information if possible guys. I have just purchased a set of Borbet A's, front are 7.5j so i believe will need 10mm spacer at ET15, and the rears 9j at ET15. Is there anyone else running this size at the rear? Can anyone advise how far they stick out and if i will HAVE to roll the arches to run them. I am currently running coilovers.

Thanks

David

Are they 5x100?

ET 15 with stretched Tyres might just fit but chances are you'll have to roll the arches.

All depends how low u wanna go really

Yes mate they are 5x100. Got them on eBay last week, but awaiting for someone to pick them up from a depot in Eastbourne for me but prob wont be until end of the week.

The rears have a slight stretch, not massive and ideally want to be low as i have coilovers and i think the wheels would look lost not slammed. Do you know how much poke they would have or would they be near flush?

well I'm runnin 43 ET wheels with 35mm adaptors so ET of 8 n it's just pokin a tiny amount n scrubs without arch work

I have small stretch 195/40 on a 7.5j

I think its going to have to wait and see what happens when i put them on.

Anyone know of any easy ways to roll arches?

Someone on here (can't remember who) made their own arch roller!!

Thanks for the photos Ian, what offset are your fronts? Did you have to space them? Also i assume you have rolled your rears?

Ian, when did you change from the Merc wheels ??

My BAD...Wrong Ian...saw Ian Rogers had posted didn't see a change in surname but shoulda guessed at the change of car colour!!!!!!!!!!! DOH

I think i get the jist that i will have to roll my rear arches, and space the front wheels.

Is it safe to use 10mm spacers on the front that arent hubcentric?

I have 9 inch A's all round no spacers I have 215/35/16 tyres. I have all arches rolled and need camber Shims or I would make permanamt contact with arch. I have rolled all arches fronts are fine but rears catch on front edge so need some stance plates but can't find them any where.

What offset are they, ET15?

Can anyone else offer some help. I have just offered my new Borbet wheels up at the front, and as expected the caliper rubs. Only prob is with a 10mm spacer they sit well out of the arch! Can anyone advise if they have an ET20 7.5j wheel up front and if so whats the minimum spacer that can be used? I want to sort it this weekend but really struggling with ideas now!

Whilst we are here, what is the cheapest and easiest way to adjust camber up front?

[marky_boy 1]

et 15 yes.

[marky_boy 1]

camber at front is easy. undo the bottom two strut bolts push it in and re tighten. instant camber!!

run 195/40 up front

It might sound alot but id run a 195/40 out back aswel on a 9J. Thats what Ill be running when I make my wheels wider.

Great plates will space the wheels out a further 12mm or so. If you use them then you will catch your rear bumper if your low enough so that will need to be cut down.
