Don't know Edd

Aren't they off a FWD Kadett/Astra SR, so should be nearer that et33;)

[MK999]

Somewhere between 0 and 60 I'd say.

Edd i do not know the offset but i would consider putting your phone on charge, you seem to only have 13% left :d lol

Don't worry with the superior battery life of a iPhone it will last till the next century :d

Oh dear lol You'll be telling us all evolution doesn't exist next

[Edd]

Your replies to this thread are as useful as my ET 33 wheels lol

[Royston]

Would guess at @et49lol

Does that help

[MK999]

If you weren't such a pansy with offset they'd be less useful than your ET33 wheels lol

[Mark]

Et 33 Iirc

[Edd]

Would guess at @et49lol

Does that help
:eek: a half sensible reply lol

I'm thinking that they were on mk1 astras so should be 47/49

But need to know 100% before buying

[Southie]

Quite like those wheels, what size are they? 14's??

The battery gauge on the iPhone I'll call the iBaaaaar from now on lol

[Edd]

There 14's

I'm on 2% now lol

[Royston]

[quote=Edd]:eek: a half sensible reply lol

Definitely Astra / Kadett Mk 1 fitted to SR'c iirc

I do try and help:d

[Royston]

There you go

[MK999]

There 14's

I'm on 2% now lol

11% of an iphone battery is 36 minutes then. 327 minutes or 5.5 hours per charge. Not bad.

Mine lasts about 4-5 days normally btw lol

Tried to rep you royston, but says i must spead it about first sadly, very handy bit of info.

iain

[MK999]

Except a lot of them, I have had ET49 wheels off of when it claims their ET is 35 to 45.

[Royston]

Just found this so et30?

Confused .......I am:roll:

http://www.djjant.com/dj102.pdf



Scrubbed the info as it was CRAP:p

It will be cast on the rim!!!!!!!

but if you only has 2% power you'll be offline nowlol

[MK999]

Again though, it claims nova/corsa is ET 30, when we know quite well they're 49!

[Royston]

Yes I's suspicious:tard:

[MK999]

Finding anything on wheel fitments on the internet is full of false hope in my experience. Best way is to look on ebay in my experience, and find specs of original wheels for sale/pictures of the reverse. Good luck doing that with mk1 astra wheels though!

This sounds more hopeful;)

Guide to Calibra Wheel Offset

Calibra Wheel Offset

Wheel Offset is the measurement between the centreline of the wheel and the mounting face. It is important to maintain the correct offset when fitting aftermarket wheels to avoid upsetting the handling of the car.
Most Vauxhall cars use an unusually high offset of 49mm. If you ignore this when fitting aftermarket wheels, you can run the risk of upsetting the handling/stability of your car and/or causing the wheels to rub on the bodywork when going over bumps etc.
On the subject of wheel offset, Courtnay Turbo say this: "When GM introduced their first front wheel drive car in 1981 they introduced their innovative 'Negative Scrub Geometry' which gives excellent stability in the event of uneven braking due to eg. gravel in the verge or a blow-out. At the core of the design was the adoption of a unique offset of 49mm negative. Aftermarket wheel manufacturers and retailers almost universally ignore the requirement for GM fwd cars to run on this offset alone and normally supply the more common 38-45mm ranges. Because we are specialists and aware of the importance, we will not supply a wheel which is not ET49."
It is worth mentioning that Irmscher, the suppliers of the Vauxhall approved aftermarket accessories, initially specified an offset of 42 - 49mm for their wheels for the 16 valve Calibra. However, on speaking to Courtnay about this, they explained that Irmscher, being German, have different requirements for offset. This is because they drive on the other side of the road and the camber affects the car differently. For the UK market, they have redefined the requirement to be an offset of 49mm only.
Note: If fitting wider tyres than standard, offset is particularly important. Wheels with a lesser negative offset than recommended will 'stick out' more than standard wheels. This will make a wider tyre more likely to rub on the wheel arches than if a wheel of the correct offset is fitted.
Courtnay say that they never have trouble with 215 tyres fitted to a Calibra if the correct offset is used. It has been known for engineers to machine 1mm off the mounting face of a wheel to increase the offset by 1mm in order to get a 48mm offset wheel to the correct offset for GM cars. We would not recommend that you machine any more than this else you run the risk of over-weakening the wheel.

[MK999]

ah yes, good old negative scrub geometry, often called "normal" geometry for 99% of cars by some lol

Seems they will be the usual offset of 49ish though if the bit about from their first FWD car, is true.

[Royston]

Edd.........Have you charged your phone yetlol

[mowgli]

definitely et49, could admin please delete the last 3 pages of waffle?

[sport]

ET49, all front wheel drive vauxhalls of that era were ET49.

[MK999]

definitely et49, could admin please delete the last 3 pages of waffle?

lol

[mowgli]

i'm glad you're laughing....at least we know that one person is....

[mowgli]

ps. mk999, you'll find that most of the scientific stuff to do with cars is based on somebody trying several options, one works, so they then put a boffin on trying to explain it....

[Ben]

Yes Nova's are et49 but the standard 3 spoke ronal gte/gsi wheels are et47.5 so you cant just say as they are fwd astra sr wheels they are bound to be et49.

[mowgli]

every single mk1 astra i ever got stuff off in a scrapyard had et49 rims, including the sr steelies that now live on bretts car

[sport]

They changed to 47.5 on the later GSI to clear the calipers but on the early fwd vauxhalls they were all 49

[Plug]

Edd.........Have you charged your phone yetlol

obv not yet still no reply haha lol

[Edd]

lol

Must be keen to sell them:roll:

Isn't it about time you changed your avatar, it's so yesterdays wheelslol

There was a set of Mk1 Astra GTE wheels at the VBOA spares day, but I never looked at the offset.....Sorry Edd:(

[sport]

lol

This shizzle still going ? F lol

So there ET 49 then ?


Go ask on www.mk1oc.com (http://www.mk1oc.com)
