Alloy Wheel help and offset

[Lee-182]

will a:

Offset of 35 and a 100mm stud Diameter be ok for my 182 oh and a 7J width?

Been reading that higher the number of offset the more in the Alloy sit? is that correct?

So a offset of 35 should sit nice and wide?

172 cup turinis are 38.5, you should be fine with 35, I've used a 35 offset turini without any problems as a spare.

Right ive just bought Pro race 1.2 in silver

35 offset, and 195/45/16 tyre for my 182, i could have a 205 tyre but im unsure if i will have problems due to the dif offset and how far it will stick out. (i think)

 

[Lee-182]

someone say ive got the right alloys pleeeeeease

 

[Fred@BTM]

nope, they'll scrub like a fucker if you lower it

the lower the ET number = the further out they sit, on a 182 that is bad

you need ET40 MAX ideally ET45 (or anywhere between 40-45)

 

[Lee-182]

im not going to lower it.

It will be ok standard?

 

[Fred@BTM]

hum, maybe, i wouldn't though, ET40 at absolute max IMO

with ET35 your wheels will be 10mm further out EACH side, 20mm total width EXTRA

my 2118 are et37

the car's lowered and i don't scrub...

with 10mm spacers it scrub a little,i think you can go until et 32-35 without spacers and without scrubbing..

 

[Lee-182]

10mm each arch looks ok plenty room there.

these are the wheels, i bought them now
