Will it rub
« on: 15 October 2009, 02:59 »
I have dropped my car 40mm and i am looking at getting a set of 18" LM reps the et on them is et35. I have read the wheels thread in maintance and it says u have to have et38 so it doesn't rub. Anyone one running 18s on a 40mm drop with an et35? Does it rub?

Cheers for the replys but u are both running bbs rc's and there et is 38, the size it states in the wheel guide. But on the ones I want it is et35 so will stick out more hence think it may rub :sad:

I got 5mm spacers up front so ET is 33 :wink: It will not rub unless they're wide wheels
