ET40 Alloys

[zdebx]

Got a quick questions reg the alloys.

Found a cheap set of alloys, but the offset is ET40...

Is that a bit too much? The car is lowered 40/20.

No will be fine, just make sure they clear the shock.

may be a little low depending on your suspension setup, width of wheel and the tyres fitted, but worst case cheapo universal 5 or 10mm spacer will probably sort it

The tyres are 195/50/15 and the alloys are 6.5J. The car is not too low (40/20) and at the moment running 16x7.5J Borbets ET20 on 195/45/16 tyres with no probs.

So I'm guessing the 15's should be ok.

I would say, arch clearance will not be the problem as they are further in, as long as they miss the shock you should be fine.

[rubjonny]

yeah should be fine, the higher the offset the further in they will sit. they'll look totally lost in your arches compared to the 16" ones you have on there now

[robz]

as above!
what ya getting though, pics

Stock wheels are et 40 aren't they? You should be fine

Stock wheels are et 40 aren't they? You should be fine 

Corrado Speedlines are 6.5"x15", ET38-42 and fit on very low cars with no issues, certainly on 195/50/15 tyres.
You'll be spot on.

I forgot about Corrado offsets, I have Estorils on the Vento, ET 30-something, 195/50/15 tyres and no issues whatsoever.
