Pudsey Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Good Morning, Afternoon, Evening, I have searched, but can’t seem to find a definitive answer, so thought someone may know. I have been looking at a set for a while, know they are a bit marmite, but I am more into comfort and something a bit different. The set I am looking at are: - 17 inch staggered fitment. 8J Front ET35 9J Rear ET38 I know the offset works, and the widths are a bit on the lame side, but will they clear a UK Brake setup? Answers on a postcard really would be appreciated. Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 it's really hard to say, from memory and a quick google the spokes on these look to always be near flush to the outer rim which definitely helps your chances as does the 35 offset as it gives you a 15mm headstart. If you/someone has a stock 17" wheel you could take some measurements from the hub face to spokes on those and compare, as the clearance on 17's to UK brakes is small?

Cheers Scooter, Yes, I have stock 17’s on at the moment, so can easily have a measure. When I get a reply, I will ask to check the back space detail measurements. Was just hoping someone may have known, which would have given complete confidence in a purchase rather than winging it a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Very honest seller got back to me today. Apparently, one of the rears has been previously crack repaired, so out of the question for me now. Sorry to have clogged up the chat. This can be binned, if a mod would like to tidy.
