Viva La Bloke Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Now i know this has probably been asked a million and 1 times but im gunna ask anyway lol whats the best offset/wheel size option for a st205 ? the wheels im looking at are 17x7.5 ET48 so will this need spacers or will they allready be out to far ? ill be honest i aint the sharpest tool in the shed lol offset's confuse me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulgtt Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 What wheels are they? I had Rota GRA's with the same measurements and it was a gnats whisker clearance off the front calipers, I put a set of 5mm spacers on just to be safe. Ideally you would want et35-et38 for a faff BUT its all down to the spoke design more than anything else which will dictate whether they clear the brakes or not. The higher the offset the further in they will sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viva La Bloke Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 its rotas that im looking at but most of theres are the same offset, aslong as theyll fit with spacers thats fine for me, i live pritty close to a big rota supplier so i might take a drive over and try some on lol (when i get the car that is lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lta Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 as Paul said, the safest bet is always going to be ET35 for caliper clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulgtt Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Which Rota's you going for? I know the "Force" are available with the correct offset, not sure on the rest of the range though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viva La Bloke Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) At the moment it between boost and grids, http://www.rarerims.co.uk/wheelshop_range.asp?id=1 That's the company local to me, they list both of them with et48 and they sell spacers to, so I might just turn up and see what deal they can offer. Apparently they take your old wheels as a px aswell so hopefully get a good deal Edited November 22, 2013 by Viva La Bloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
