Wheel offset

[richi]

Just been offered some nice 15 alloys but they are a et 36, would they be okay or rubbing all the time

[richi]

Out of curiosity what's the biggestest that would fit without major rubbing? Not going big just wondering

[Benn]

36 will rub all the time. (they will sit 10mm father out towards the arch.)

You want 49 if you can as that is correct, but you can get away with down to 45, but you'll prob need to roll/trim/fold your rear arches.
What size tyres too? Nothing bigger the a 45 profile..

And in width or diameter?

[richi]

Okay, we'll the arches have already been done but will stick with a 45 plus, what cars other than vauxhall have this offset? I thought I got told ages ago vw and BMW but now I think I have made that up thanks

[Benn]

VW will be miles out. But unsure on Bmw. Some Audi have a 50et (i run them) but the pcd will be wrong.

[richi]

Thanks so it's just vauxhalls then

[Benn]

In factory wheels kinda, after market there are loads.

It's so annoying as I'm trying to find second hands as they are getting refurbed anyways all I find is et38
For vauxhall
