ET35 Offset Wheels

[wutang200]

Just bought some Rota Torque 17" wheels that are ET35 all round. Will this look ok on an S15 Spec R with that offset or am I better off buying spacers for it?

If spacers are needed, what 'mm' do you recommend?

Spacers will be needed on the front, probably 5mm, the rears should be fine :thumbs:

Edit:

Nismo GT4's; 17 x 7.5" ET +30 at the front & 17 x 8.5" ET+40 at the rear

Works CR Kai's; 17 x 8" ET +32 at the front & 17 x 9" ET+30 at the rear

Standard arches & no spacers....

Thanks for that.

I already have 3mm spacers lying around which I can use for the front.

Will post pics up once the wheels are on the car.

If worst comes to worst, I'll swap the 3mm to the rears and buy 5mm for the fronts.

need to know what the width of the wheels are to know if the offset is any good

8J front and 9J rear

sounds good to me - may need spacers to beef the look up a bit but should fit perfectly as they are. my enkeis were et42 rear and et35 front on the same widths and fitted nicely

Thanks dude.

I can't wait to get them on!

Depends on the coilovers too then obviously?? My 8JJ ET32 CR's are a tight squeeze on the front with DW CS2's....

I'm on standard suspension and have no intentions of lowering it.

Here's pictures of my 17"x8"x ET 35 all round without spacers. They are Weds RS Sport which I use for track. They fill the guards fine.

Damn I so need my wheels on my car! I've lost my locking wheel nut key so am in a bit of trouble trying to find someone who can remove the locking nuts.

Wheels are now on:

i love the back ones man they fit perfectly, i never under stand offset and all that, they look spot on just sit perfect with the archs, really look well under the white aswell
good work bud

wheels suit car perfect!looks sweet:nod:

 

[wutang200]

Thanks for the nice comments guys! I'm glad you guys like the new look. I'm also loving it too.

I was ready to sell the wheels off if they didn't look right on my car but now that they're on, it's spot on in my eyes.

I had a couple of 3mm spacers which I didn't bother fitting as the wheels fitted surprisingly perfect.

Thats odd because I've very little space between the top of my 8" wide ET32's & the suspension strut?? Although the camber is probably causing that!

They really suit you car though :thumbs:
