Wheel offset help

[Daniel]

I just had to have a new wheel fitted due to a manufacturing fault.

The Car came with et35 offset wheels when i bought it. When i ordered a new wheel, they no longer made it and so i had to buy from another company that only offered an offset of et30. So now i have three wheels et35, one wheel et30. Its not noticeable really but will it affect the cars driving? Is it worth me getting one 5mm spacer for that wheel or will that fluff things up further?

any advice greatly received.

What car is this dan?

The wheel at et30 is sitting 5mm further out than the others... so if anything you'd put the spacers on the other wheels.

Does it handle any different?

Mr Peperami beat me to it

5mm spacer on all the other wheels or machine the other one down 5mm?

bad idea!

 

[Daniel]

Ok, maybe i have the numbers wrong. Three wheels are sitting dead flush with the arches, one is sitting 5mm in from the arch.

Like i said you don't notice unless someone points it out.
As for driving it, I can't really tell tbh.

Its on an Audi A6 and the wheels are 19"

shove a 5mm spacer behind it (and use longer wheel bolts)

What was the 'Bad idea' about Freddy boy??

 

[Daniel]

FRED!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

having 1 different offset wheel to the other 3

 

[Daniel]

So i assume fitting a 5mm spacer will sort things?

Cheers mate!

 

[Fred@BTM]

well it sounds like 3 wheels are further out than the new one

 

[Daniel]

Yes mate. I'll get ho;d of a spacer tomorrow and sort it the weekend.
