ripped_fear Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) I am currently on the look out for a new set of wheels and have stumbled on a set of wide beauty's don't want to give to much away but i'm a tad worried on the sizes so would these fit? also found a couple of others too. SET1 -17x9j et35 -17x12j et -3 SET2- -17x9 ET35 -17x8 ET35 SET3 -17x8 +29 -17x9 +37 any advice would be appreciated thanks in advance.

Nic Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 If you have the larger 4pot/2pot brakes fitted you should test fit the wheels first, it'll depend on the design of the wheels along with the sizes/offsets whether they will clear the calipers or not. Make sure any wheels that you are interested in have a PCD of 5 x 114.3 SET1 -17x9j et35 - will just fit within wheel arch probably need to roll the arches to prevent rubbing. -17x12j et -3 - will stick out beyond the wheel arches by around 60mm SET2- -17x8 ET35 - will fit within wheel arches, clearance to arch will be around 15mm, arches wouldn't need rolling -17x9 ET35 - will fit within wheel arches, clearance to arch will be around 15mm, arches wouldn't need rolling SET3 -17x8 +29 - will fit within wheel arches, clearance to arch will be around 10mm, arches wouldn't need rolling -17x9 +37 - will fit within wheel arches, clearance to arch will be around 17mm, arches wouldn't need rolling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) If you want to know how any other wheels will fit you could use this Offset Calculator, this allows you to compare 2 different wheel widths/offsets and will tell you how the fitments compare. As a guide my wheels just fitted within the front and rear wheel arches, the arches were rolled - pics HERE - these wheels sizes are: Front: 18x9 +32 Rear: 18x10 +32 Compare these sizes/offsets against any wheels you are interested in to get an idea of how they fit within the arches.
