Wheels... Offsets... Sizes....
Hi all.
I have myself a Westfield with a set of 13" alloys with all 7" wide. The rears are running with 25mm spacers on.
I am looking to get myself a set of CXR alloys but i am unclear whether is should be getting then 7" wide all around or have the rears in
8"
Also, how do i work out which ET i should be getting or looking at?
Thanks

nice site explain ET and how to calculate.
https://www.oponeo.co.uk/blog/wheel-width-and-et-offset-explained
Regarding your current question, you need to know the current wheel ET, then 'add' 25mm for the spacers. At that point you need to look at
where the wheel is. How much space do you have at the rear (towards the middle of the car) and how much at the front (towards the pavement). You then
can juggle the ET to fit the biggest wheel you want to. Although please check clearence when the wheel is going over a bump and the suspension is
compressed. ie it doesn't rub inside the wheel arch.

I believe i used the will they fit site as well, as it does look familiar
Hand have to say, that when i ordered my wheels, they were EXCACTLY what i was after, so proves doing your homework makes the job easier

Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at
