Wheels to suit MK

Can someone offer a few suggestions here.

I am looking to use 15" x 6.5 with 195x50x15 with an ET of 42.

I have asked for Fox R2 & FX2, OZ ultra leggera, Wolfrace Ikon Plus with no joy.

When asked what wheels were available in 4x108 - ET42 they said it doesnt work like that and I had to pick a wheel first.

Cheers

Steve

Im using standard wheel arches and rear discs.
What ET range can I work in?

Or is 42 the limit?

Seconded.
It's tru that every wheel is not available in every offset, but they're not exactly being helpful are they?

You have a few options with original Indy chassis,the new chassis by the way excepts a much larger range of offsets "ET"
The best option in my opnion is a 7" wide rims, ET 35 or 38 these 7" wide rims are more common to the performance range of wheels,team dynamic's,OZ,and Compomotive.

Paul,

I thought the ET for the standard sierra wheel was 38. So going up to widths of 6.5 and 7" would take the ET up as well?

Yes Steve you are correct,the et 38 7" will stick out another 10mm,but the Indy will take a wider wheel with no arch fouling problems,so long as you dont go for tyres over 205 wide,195's are more usual,you will have no problems with a 7" et 38,it just fills the arch better,and gives you a bigger choice of wheels,due to it being a standard sierra upgrade size.
