for me or nicely??
+43 would be ok for the rear but what about the front??
I think you would need a spacer, but you may not.

[Newbie mode on] Why is the front a concern but not the rear?? [Newbie Mode off]

Its the 8.5 that's the important bit. That's the width. 8.5s on that list have a bigger offset.

Ming, be wary. If you stick more than a 3-5mm spacer on, you are probably going to need extended studs.

Topper, there are strut clearance and arch liner issues at the front, especially if you have coilovers. Backs are usually fine, except for wheel arches.

Ah that could explain why i have 9j's, coilovers and NO archlining.

So a safe offset and width would be 8j with +35 ish??

i have 8 x 18 front et35 and 2254018 and a 5mm spacer giving me a total offset of 40 and they now clear the coilover (they didnt before) but now i have is super low its rubbing on the arch linners on bump/ steering.

bloody thing drives me mad lol got 2553518 rear with et35 sits nice but had 3.5 degrees of neg camber if i straighten it out they will rub like bitch!


this months to do- get camber arms and do arch mods on rear remove arch liners front :thumbs:
