What ET 8x17 on rear

[Diluxe]

Considering 8x17 on rear , what ET would you guys recommend with 30mm drop on a vr6.

Cheer

[Wayne]

30 to 35 will be fine but you may need to trim the arches.

If I kept the offset at ET43 , I 'd get an equal increase inwards or outwards, good idea or bad? I guess hitting the shock could become an issue.....

Yep it be very close to touching the shock.

[Len]

Nah it wont! Only if you try and fit tyres bigger than 215 wide.

Standard offset is 45 which has lots of leeway

Oh btw unlike Wayne I have had a set of 8x17's on my car!

what ET did you run?

I ran 7x17 with a 35mm offset on mine and it was tight for clearance.

You need to run 205/40/17's as well, 215's will throw the gearing / speedo out.

[Len]

Wrong again Wayne.

215/40's are fine. Check the Wheel/Tyre info up above.

I think they were standard ET but I will look at the wheels and check for you.

I also ran the same tyres on a set of 7.5x17's which they are still fitted to and in my possession.
