Help with offsets?

[brightside]

What ofset will these become?

8.5J
et 15
35mm adapters


ET50? or ET-20?

Ive got epic brain failure happening.:coffee:

 

[RalphyBMW]

Et-20

 

[brightside]

Thank you

 

[brightside]

You also dont happen to know the distance between the arch and hub do you? lol

 

[RalphyBMW]

No, sorry, but probably not enough to fit those beasts in, even without the spacers.

 

[Ruben]

Even without spacers they will stick out 65 mm more than standard. No chance!

 

[brightside]

We'll see lol

 

[RalphyBMW]

Hmm. Certainly wide!

 

[brightside]

will probably ruin the handling, but for what its costing me worth a try.

Can you tell I've got a vw aswell lol

isnt it illegal for your wheels to stick out further than the arches?

If that first pic is the wheels fitted, im really sorry, but it looks ridiculous, and isnt the tread going the wrong way?

 

[RalphyBMW]

It is illegal for the wheel/tyre to protrude beyond the bodywork, but it is not an MoT failure, so uou would need a police officer to spot it (or for you to have an accident) for there to be a problem.

Looks like it will foul the outer arch under compression though, which could be expensive.

Lol. Yeah, tread is wrong way round.

Reckon you should go for some arch extensions. Wide body Clio lol.

 

[DanT]

Haha! Wide body clio conversion would be awesome

 

[brightside]

Lol, I would get the arches rolled but then I rememberd theyre plastic...
I know the tyres on backwards,only one of the wheels has a tyre on it

I'm just gonna try it, if it dosnt work then it dosnt work, I just love these rim's, just a shame its in such a stupid offset lol

 

[Graeme GTR]

What's it called when they do a widebody of an already widebody car? Even widerbody?

Cool :lol:

why dont you get the wheels machined down to a higher offset.

thats the plan, but the final offset will still be around -8

 

[DanT]

Stupid question but do you have to have the 35mm adapters? Or do these allow them to be fitted in the first place? For example, a different bolt fitment from vw to renault etc etc.

Pics of said wheels?

 

[brightside]

Theyre off a bmw so the PCD is 5x120, thinnest adapters i can find (so far) are 33mm thick. As it was when I offered it up to the car, I was happy with how it was at ET15 fairly confident that it woudnt scrub or anything.

And how I worked out that it will still end up at around -8 is because Ive heard that apparently when you machine a wheel you cant take anymore than 7mm off.

I'l have another look at the back of the wheel and see how much "could" come off.
