Title: need some help with et?
Post by: tweed on 30 December 2010, 19:57

I'm after some 7.5" front and 9" rear I want a bit of poke front and back. Thinking et25 on front with aches rolled should be ok? and et15 on rear, but is that going to rub to f**k?

Depends on the stretch you run on the rear mate, but ET15 will be cutting it extremely fine without rolling up!

As above et15 will be tight.

25 up front sounds spot on. Maybe 20 out back if you are worried about rubbing.

The tyres will have a lot of stretch, they will be show/summer wheels don't want to pop no tyres off  :cry:

3 Piece Schmidts are a win in my book :afro:
But the best wheel of all time is a BBS RS 001. Period!!
But they are only affordable if you sell BOTH kidneys :'(
