recently i drove into a pothole, the size of a speed hump (somehow the speed hump that used to be there... went missing, no lie) and cracked/buckled my alloy. I have currently got my eye on a temporary set on eBay and was wondering if these specs/numbers are fine for the car. will they fit without rubbing/hitting arches? is it going to affect speedo? etc. (its the offset that gets me)
PCD: 5X100 (i know thats fine) RIM: 7x17 H2 OFFSET: ET 45 CENTRE BORE: 75mm (will get spigot rings) TYRES: 215/45/R17 any info would be much appreciated! --------------------  "whoever said progress was a slow process... was probably talking about me" |

The guy I was going to buy the alloys off decided to be a blue waffle n sold it to some1 else even though we had an agreement lol I bought sum 18" vw golf alloys instead. Rim size is 18x8j n currently running 225/40/r18. ET is 35 so hopefully eliminate the ghastly sunken look and the need for spacers etc lol in the process of carbon fibre vinyl wrapping them cuz the paint looked like sum1 went crazy with sum cheaply rattle can black lol (2 down 2 to go) hopefully comes out ok n covers most of the ugliness.
Thanks to you guys for educating me on ET and spacers etc. Will come in handy when I get the GT I got my eyes on lol -------------------- "whoever said progress was a slow process... was probably talking about me" |
