Alloy question

[Dazz]

Is the offset for an RT 36? or is it something difference. I;m looking at a set of alloys of the following spec:

4x108 stud fitment, the off set is ET/40. The tires are 195x50x15.

Doest anyone know if these will fit or not?

Thanks

Darren

108 is ford fitment..........100 is renault.

thanks ben

Just another question.

Will phase 2 16v alloys have much effect on my speedo? i.e. will it over or under read? Also, are there any other downfalls except loss of acceleration?

And finally will improve handling much over the standard steelies?

Thanks

no and no...........they are just bigger, no massive diffs, more grip froma larger tyre, thats all.

mk 1 ofset is 42 acording to MAx power haynes i think

well just got my set off mark fisher. Seems like a nice bloke with a bluddy ace car!!!

Just fitted them, off with the mud flaps, and work superb. Think the speedo under reads slightly but it handles lovely

BTW, what does the offset effect? also, BenR are u sure there wont be a slight under read on the speedo? Doing about 30 it seems correct, but when it gets to about 60/70 it seems to be going a bit faster than the speedo indicates?

Thanks all

Dazz - with alloys

oh just one more question, any idea what the pressures should be?

At the mo im running 32 all round as a safe bet til i find out the exact pressures.

Thanks

offsets affect scrub radius and SAI offset, but nothing to worry about in small amounts.

Calculate the Rollin diameter.......see if they are near the same.

ok cheers, il do that later afta work. I guess if its larger it will underread, and if its similar the speedo should be the same. Thanks Ben
