M5TT X Vw Lupo GTi (Black Posted September 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 yeah thats what i was hoping, perhaps we can put ET in a different subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 ET = offset. 43mm on the GTi, 38mm on other LuposThe smaller it is, the more the wheels stick out. But DONT go any HIGHER than 43 or like Darren, you'll need to grind the calipers style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> (Depending on the style of the wheel)offset of 35 would be ideal, fill out the arches a little.So you want wheels of 4x100 with a `35-43mm` offset.Thats 4 stud, with a 100PCD (Pitch circle diameter, the centre "hole" of the alloy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreno510 Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 ET phone home so a 45 offset would be bad ??cos pvd (i know) are doing black team dynamics alloys at good prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Loop Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Matt you've been reading a lot about Elises lately, ET in 'normal' Lupos is 43 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> :thumbs:Still ET 35 would be ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Yeah as Matty said I had to grind a little of my front callipers which was an unexpected surprise.HOWEVER...by having 45mm offset wheels I can run my 205/40R17's and have my 65mm all round drop and carry 4 people with ease. Only rubs i get are on outer front arch liner and this is minimal as ive dressed the lips and liners back abit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 ET = offset. 43mm on the GTi, 38mm on other LuposI agree, these are the figures I have as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
