any experience with et19 wheels on sierra uprights

Has anybody had any experience with fitting et19 offset wheels on to sierra uprights? I am able to get 13" slicks for beer money so what about fitting them to the readily (read cheaply) available 13" et19 rs type alloys. I know the sierra uses et38 so what are the handling implications. I have willwoods fitted, so clearance with the 13" shouldn't be an issue. Many thanks Simon

Strikers use 18-22ET and they are well known for good handling.

i use rs alloys with 19 et..i run Ao48r and found them to be execellent 185/60/13

in the front i use standard sierra vented discs and claipers..i did have to just touch a file to a small aera of the calipers then they fitted fine

on the back i run normal drum brakes and have no problem

i also had to modify the front cycle wings to cover better..

i have done a couple of trackdays with this size and find it turns in tighter and seems to stay tighter through the corners

hope this helps

I am about to do the same I bought some rs wheels of ebay and a set of michelin slicks from sticky-slicks
I have not put them on the car though cause the car is in Greece and I want go there until summer!
So finger crossed they will fit.
If somebody have few pics of this set up please post them in order to see how they look and what sort of modification the sierra disks and calipers need.
