10,5" et35 rear wheels? without rubbing arches

[rydan88]

Hi.

 

I wonder if anyone here runs 10,5" rear wheels with et35?

It would be great with some pics of it without modified arches! Please tell how much you have lowered it too!

Planning to buy a staggered set of wheels with 10,5" rear with et35..my arches are not modified, not planning to either.

 

Greetings

i think the arches may need a little roll on the lip

I'm pretty sure you'll need to roll the arches to fit those. I had to when I changed to a wheel with a more "aggressive" offset. It's not a hard job though and you can't tell unless you get your head inside the wheel arch, so there's no downside.

You will need to cut/roll the arches, Mine are 10" et35 and my arch lip is cut right off, ive got a little space left.

I'm pretty sure they will rub if you don't roll the arches.

I have that offset and width rear wheels running 285/30/18 tyres and had to get the arches trimmed a little!

Wow - that's a lot!

well, i haven't seen if it really is lowered 42mm yet. I don't have any wheels so i cant put the car on the ground yet. But it says 42mm on the specs of the springs

if the offset where 40 instead of 35, would it work then? a lathe operator could do this? it's only 5mm

It would mean 5mm less material thickness around the bolt holes, not something I would mess with.

 

If you do buy them and they rub (and I'm pretty sure they will), just get the arches rolled, it is a very quick and simple procedure. Alternatively go for the 9.5J +35 wheels instead.

I have +43 offset with 10" rears. My car is very low and the wheels are 19's. The clearance from the tyre rim and unmodified arch is probably 2mm. But I get no rubbing at all. I reckon thats about the closest offset setting on 10" rears possible to not have to modify the arches.

 

For 10.5 inch rears, you'd need an offset of +49 to be equivalent.
