simonwref Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 My current wheels are et45 I have new wheels that are et42 Does a decrease in et mean the wheels will be more sunk in or more proud and how significant a difference will it be. Thanx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizona Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) 3mm further out or is that 3cm...... Edited October 30, 2013 by arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Go to www.willtheyfit.com and enter the alloy specs. As et and j figures are linked. For example an et45 6j alloy and et45 7j alloy will sit differently due to the difference in wheel width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splinter Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 They will be 3mm further out. And et42 is still low. You will be fine. Given the rim width is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Q Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I ran 7x17" ET35 on my 182 with lowering springs, as long as they aren't silly width you should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 To sum it up si , the lower the number the further out they stick out , my faff rims are 35 , but are wide , and to fit my 183 I would of had to stick wide front wings on , being 18s , it actually made the 183 look like a truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
