Koop Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Not sensibly, 7 & 8 is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBarr Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Not sensibly, 7 & 8 is good.This ^ but it depends on which steelies you are starting with? I have a set of 13" polo 6N banded steels. Started out at 4.5J et35. with 2.5" band on front and 3" in the rear. Makes them 7J et4 and 7.5J et-2. With 175/50 up front and 165/55 in the rear, pretty much perfect for a lupo, tiny bit of rear camber was bang on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north wales loop Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 would go for 14s or 15s and 7s and 8s all depends on the finat ET tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiea7x Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 if you wer smart you would have had the wheels fitted took a tape measure and measure how wid eyou could go then send the wheels off with the measurements, why send them away then guess, makes zero sense, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loepan Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I've got 7's up front, wish I'd had 7.5-8 and 8.5 rear instead of 8If you want 'legal/sensible' go for 7.5 front 8 rearsObviously dependent on et Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Johns Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Yeah just need to get hold of the steels after xmas and work out what the et will be after them being banded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
