wide Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 would 19"alloys et37 9 & 10j pass the brembo's without a problem? probably gonna put spacers on at some point so what size would give best offset with 9&10j widths. thanks matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzman Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Everyone talks about buying wheels with the right offsets, bu they are so hard to come by (at a reasonable price). Is there any harm in running spacers with aftermarket alloys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 No harm in running spacers. If I found the right wheels at the right price I would fit them. I ordered my wheels new and imported them so they had to have the right offsets from the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wide Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 ive found the right wheels at a very right price but the wrong offset, hence the question? 19" ceramic bronze 5zigen zr+520 staggerd 9&10j but unfortunatly et37. i am thinking 15mm spacers because of the widths.

Sounds good to me... 15mm spacers will take you into the correct territory. Sounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanS16 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 +1 Am I correct in thinking that 20mm with make them ET17? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 +1 Am I correct in thinking that 20mm with make them ET17? Yup I'm debating between 20mm spacers to bring my offset down to ET2 or some Et12 TE37s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichIOW Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hey Matt just wondered if you got any pics of the wheels on the car yet. In the future I would like a set of the 5Zigen ZR+520's on my Zed but hope to see them on a gunmetal one first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawbhp Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I have some Ace alloys and needed spacers to clear the brakes. I went for 25mm front and 20mm rear to give overall offsets of ET15 all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuno Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 If you're going to buy spacers just to make sure they clear the brembo calipers I would suggest you test fit wheels. The rears may clear but I don't think the fronts will, I have et35 and they're 2mm from the front caliper and clear the rear fine. If you're doing it for looks then put the wheels with tyres on again before you buy some spacers. They're wide wheels so may not look too bad, if they look ok but touch the front caliper you could try using shims on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
