370Ad Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 The ET20 Grids work really well but unfortunately the design on the front of these means the spokes catch the brakes. You need the ET12 ones or 10mm spacers if you have already bought them. Personally I would roll the arches over running skinny tyres. Quote

370Ad Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Can't quote as I am on my phone but I meant the ES2s on ET22 catch not the Grids Quote
Spatt Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Yeh.. spokes are flater on the es2's.. Think I need to have 20mm spacer up front minimum to clear the caliper ob these. if I could run just 10mm spacers I would be happy because they wouldn't poke so much Quote
Paddy78 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 They will look really nice Matt, but wouldn't it be better to get a set that fit without having to bodge it? I know a new set with tyres would be 2-3 times more expensive, but surely worth it to not have the hassle! 1 Quote
Spatt Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Tbf I am thinking that... tarmac sportz sell them so I could get the et12 everyone seems to be getting. I need some bodywork doing first and I may get some later in the year. Just dont want it to affect handling 1 Quote
Spatt Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) :teeth: Do They Rub? Are you on standard suspension? They look a good fit here thinking about it. I bet your not having to run a 20mm spacer upfront to clear the brakes. Thats probably why they look a good fit Edited January 20, 2015 by Spatt Quote
Ian Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 No spacers They rubbed in the back with a 285 fitted was find with a 275 before. Quote
Spatt Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 booooo.. looks like im going to leave these wheels then. I just cant bring myself to compromise on the quality of the drive even if they look awesome! I'll go for the ET 12 ones later in the year or something. shouldn't need spacers then Quote
Ian Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Should add that my car was on coilovers You don't need spacers with all 22 offset wheels- it depends on the design of the wheel Edited January 20, 2015 by Ian 1 Quote
morgs Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 ET20 rather than ET22, I'm on coilovers. No spacers. I get a bit of rubbing, but that's my current setup, they don't rub on a less aggressive rear. 1 Quote
Spatt Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 Woah ! look nice them rims guys im not getting these ones any more. I have bought something else but feel free to continue posting wheel pics 1 Quote

You have the same front bumper as me and i love the reg plate there. mine has a jdm plate but its huge and awefull. i think i'll try a uk plate fitted like this next Quote
Sam Mcgoo Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Front 9 x 19 ET20 245/35/19 Rear 10 x 19 ET25 275/35/19 Stock suspension, no spacers, no rubbing. 2 Quote

It's designed to easily screw off, so for shows/photos etc I can show off the V1 in all it's glory Quote
Spatt Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 Thats awesome. Does it not leave the bracket on show when you remove the plate? Expecting them Monday Chris so watch this space Quote
morgs Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I haven't got any decent pics on here without the plate on, but it's painted gloss black so blends in with the grill. Best I could find on here, a photo ceejay took of my car at Japfest: Quote
Spatt Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 Looks good, is the bracket on the car in this shot? I'll defo look into getting a UK plate Quote
morgs Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 No bracket as such, other than the part of the bumper that is there already. The two circles you can see either side are fixed to it and the number plate screws into them. Quote
Spatt Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 right mine is slightly different but this looks great. Quote
Spatt Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 I would have to get a picture uploaded really but I have an 'L' bracket. Which bolts where yours does and comes out then up my reg then bolts to that. Its a jdm mine so maube this os normal? Quote
