Rub a Dub dub. . . .
« on: 04 January 2009, 19:31 »
........ Goes the rear wheels on the back of my Dub  :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

So, How much of a difference is there from ET35 to ET33 ?????

and will dropping from 195/50/15s to a 185 tyre make much difference ?????

Cos its either the offset of the new rims, the tyre size, or the Drop ( or a combination of all 3 ) so i cant use the car with any weight in the back  :angry:

HELP ! ! !

Thanks in advance

 :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: after the work I have just done,

so with 2mm more on the ET, and 5mm + on the tyres ( 195 from 185 ) I have added at least 7mm  :cry: Correct ?????

Yeah pretty much, look to see how much they rub. On mine I just flexed the small areas it caught with a pair of molegrips wrapped in cloth. Did the job a treat and they only needed a tweak.

The Rado does that so I just banned rear passangers.

summut not right there my friend, it took an et of 12 to make my rear wheels rub with 195/50 tires, ET18 and there were no problems.  No way an ET of 33 or 35 should rub with 195/50s :undecided:
