oz superleggera et 37 what spacers?

[jamielp]

Ive just fitted oz superleggera wheels to my 172 cup and they look like they sit in the arch a lot more than the 182 alloys i did have on it when i bought it........due to the different offset i think, what thickness spacers are the best choice for filling the arches a bit more but without any rubbing?

On the front, rear or both?

 

[jamielp]

both

ehm ET 37 come outward more than the original (ET 40/42 i think?) :S

That's what I thought as well

Original cup is et35 I think so 37 would actually sit in a couple of mm. Sometimes its just the style of wheels that makes it seem like they are sitting differently, also depends on width of wheels , how much spokes etc sit proud of rim. If they fit and dont rub/foul just go with it.

172 cups run et38. somthing on the standard turini's.

You sure their et37 ?

depends on the width of the wheel. The cup wheels are 7j, chances are the Oz wheels are 6j.

The offset would be the same though so they'd stick out just as far, the 6J would be further away from the inner arch.

The wheel is narrower so unless the offset is bigger, then there's no way it'll stick out as far.

Ye it's says et 37 on rear of wheel and also they are 7j wide. Maybe it is just the style of the alloy then and the thinner spokes making the car look narrower as I'm used to the flat faced 182 alloys that were fitted! What are the common spacers people fit with turinis ?

Post a picture of it.

Spacers wise, I'd go for 16mm hubcentric fronts and 5mm rears, in either hub spacer or standard wheel spacer.

This man is talking sense. ^^^^

I have et37 7j superleggeras on mine and as above 16mm is all you need up front anymore and it will look stupid and rub like a nutter on hard cornering..

On the rear i found that with 5mm spacers and 205 wide tyres i had slight scrubbing when i had rear passengers, dropped down to 195's and all good.

Shall try and find some pics of the distance mine stick out with spacers.

Rear

Front

thanks MartinR its good to see the difference on the front especially! any recommendations on where to get the spacers from?
