Correct offset?

[The Seer]

Could somebody tell me the correct offset for 16" x 7" wheels when choosing a set of aftermarket wheels?

Thanks.

 

[White16valver]

iirc it's either 37, 38 or 42, but don't quote me on that...

Different versions run different offsets I think!

 

[Da]

On a 182 it's et45.

 

[White16valver]

Same for a Cup version?

 

[PPTom]

yup

 

[Da]

All 182's are the same offset.

 

[Fred@BTM]

yep ET45 (you could just squeeze on ET42 at a push)

 

[CHRISK172+]

What is the offset for a 172FF and was is the effect of fitting Turini's??

Standard FF wheels are ET48.5/47.5 iirc, cup turinis are ET37. I've got superturismos on mine which are ET37 and i've got no problems don't rub etc.

No rubbing now i've got rid of my coilovers and fitted -30mm spings

 

[The Seer]

Thanks for the advice everyone.

I presume Superturismo's with an e.t. of between 42 and 45 will be o.k. then?

Anything less will definately NOT work with a 182 Cup?

 

[Fred@BTM]

doubt you'll find any OZ wheel with an ET of more than 37

 

[The Seer]

I've ordered the Superturismo's in 37 e.t.

 

[Fred@BTM]

^they'll scrub like a b*****d (if lowered)


why even ask on here for the information if you're just going to ignore it?

 

[The Seer]

I asked since when I ordered the wheels I didn't want them to be supplied in the wrong e.t.

 

[kiza1986]

You should have asked the question before ordering... If you're not going to lower your car then you have no problem i suppose but the wheel might sit in the arch a bit??

I did ask the question, the chap at POTN said the e.t is 37 on these wheels for Clio 182's. Anyway it isn't possible the buy O.Z.'s in e.t above 37 so I hear. There wasn't an option apart from choosing another wheel, which I wasn't keen on doing.

Yeah the car will be lowered only slightly though, maybe 20 mm all round eventually. Perhaps I'll get away with that?

Lowered at all?

 

[Laura]

mine are ET20 at the front ET30 on the rear on an 8 inch rim, lowered 40mm, they only scrum if cornering hard

 

[The Seer]

^ That's reassuring to know then. Guess I shouldn't have any problems.

 

[Fred@BTM]

well the guy from POTN is wrong

hey at least you have 16mm wider track

 

[The Seer]

^When the time comes modifications will have to be made, should they need to be.

 

[The Seer]

It's possible I still may have time to alter the order before it's sent on the carrier.

So 42 e.t at the minimum? Although some say O.Z. don't make an e.t above 37 in 16" x 7" ?:S

i had the 2118's in et38 with 195/50 on my 182 lowered on coilovers and there wasnt any rubbing, iv got the et43 version now with 205/50 and there isnt any rubbing so you should be fine on standard suspension, even lowered 20mm (im guessing on eibach pro's?) u should be fine!

I plan on using H & R suspension in a few months, as I say, not intending to go to low at all, 20-30mm.

However I'm using 205/45's on the 37 e.t wheels, this is where a problem could arise?

 

[The Seer]

Phoned POTN this morning, advised them of my concerns about the e.t of 37. Sales assistant phoned their distributor who told them they would order 16" x 7" Superturismo WRC's in an e.t of 42 direct from O.Z.

It'll take about two weeks for the order to appear. Though I've heard !16" Supertursimo WRC's are no longer. To confirm the sales assistant phoned his distributor. Who in turn confirmed that these wheels have NOT been deleted and will be able to order direct from the factory.

 

[Laura]

if you have a problem just get some 5mm spacers to put them to ET32

 

[The Seer]

^ The e.t has to be no lower than 42, Not the other way bringing it to from 37 to 32.

 

[Laura]

no lower than 42.. why?? if its any higher it will catch on the inside of the axle and rear beam..

anytging between 42 and about 30 is fine on a 7" rim

 

[The Seer]

Not according to several posts made in this thread and others. 37 is ok for 172's running 195 tyres though when using 205's as my 182 does, if lowered (which it will be in time) tyres will catch the arches. This is why I presume no lower than 42 e.t

 

[The Seer]

The wheels have arrived, though because 16" x 7" SuperTurismo WRC has been deleted, the only one's left were in e.t 37. So I took the plunge and bought em'.

I plan on using H & R coilovers at a later date will I get away with a 30 mm drop or will it have to be 25 or less?

 

[The Seer]

^ Anyone?

 

[Laura]

they will be fine as they are

 

[The Seer]

^ Thanks, I really hope so.

Not planning on anything less than 20-30 mm drop with the H & R's later this year. Though a few on this thread have told me they'll rub. Don't fancy having the arches rolled.

 

[franx]

.. again no pics :dapprove:

please let me know if you managed without altering arches etc.. PICS please please

 

[JCMON]

what would be the correct E.T for OZ 16" x 6.5?

KW coilovers V1 Basic on the way....planning on lowering about 30mm all around!!!
