SankysVR6 1 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Just bought a set 16" 5x100 et48 mirror polished rims. Just wondering will i have problems with clearence for this fittment. And if i add a 10mm spacer does this mean the ET will become et38 or et58.and can somebody explain the if lower the et does that mean the wheel futher out of the arch or futher into the arch.

six appeal 53 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Lower the ET, the further the wheels will stick out. Depending on the width of the rims you may have a problem clearing some suspension set ups with an ET 48.With a spacer your wheels would become ET38.Simon. Link to post Share on other sites
SankysVR6 1 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 the width is 61/2J which is the same as the standard rim. so if i get a 12mm spacer that will make the offset to et36 which hopefully will look ok.Thanks for the help Si Link to post Share on other sites

Seademon 0 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 They look like an OZ wheel or a Mille Miglia wheel - both had a similar design which I cant remember the name of! Link to post Share on other sites
