Ok, so its quite early and my brain isnt up to speed yet....

Looking at selling my speedlines which as you are all aware are 6J and ET49

I am looking at some replacements which are 5.5J at ET38

My calculations say to me that the difference is a few mm, not a great deal at all.

Can someone confirm?lol

5mm more poke

17mm more strut clearance

I had some 15" alpines on a Nova of mine years back, i think they were ET38 and scrubbed the arches over every bump. Can't remember if i had modded the arches or not......

How come you are selling your speedlines? Love those wheels.......

Pretty much what Stuart's calculator says!

Pretty sure Speedlines are 6.5J?

Are they? I was sure they were 6?

Ah well- looks like I will be fine then in terms of inner/outer clearences.

And those TSW alpines were probably 7J ;)

EDIT - in fact if they were 6.5J the calculation is almost the same! Result!
