I have an Et question and its fairly important as it'll effect the wheels I get.
The T's have an Et of 35, fairly epic as I'm running the wilwoods and I'm looking at As but they generally only have an et20.
Would I be right in thinking that if I spaced them out they'd clear the brakes and sit at about the same point poke wise under the arches?

Re: Wheel Et
Sorry, should have been clearer. The T's are et35 and sit perfectly in the arch. New As are generally 15-20 so they'd need spacing.
Saying that I think I've found a complete set of 4x100. Et35 7s. Proper rocking horse poop but I need to confirm before buying.

Re: Wheel Et
The lower the et the more the poke Jim.
7's with et 15-20 will stick out even before you add spacers.
Pretty sure that's right chaps no?

Re: Wheel Et
Think you have it the wrong way round?
Spacing ET20 by 20mm will effectively make them ET0, and stick out a loooong way.
I could be be wrong though as it's still early for a Saturday and I haven't had breakfast yet.
There are some good sites that draw you pretty pictures of this kind of thing, but I can't think that hard at the moment.

Re: Wheel Et
As pointed out above, the lower the ET number, the more the wheels will stick out.
With 7x15 ET35 wheels - a 15mm spacer on the rear will make a perfect "arch-filling" ET20
