Help , 8j et48 or 7.5j et45 ?

[Phil r type]

Sorry if this has been covered before , looking to order some rota's this week but and I can't think what is less likely to rub ? 8j et48 or 7.5j et45 , both with 215 tyres ? I worked out the 8j 48 will stick out like 2 or 3 mm more but as I'm using a 215 tyer I think the tyre wall will sit further in being a 48 et ? Hope this makes sense lol any help will be fab !

mine is on 8J et38 and 215/45 tyres, and lowered, with no rubbing or any arch work, so i would go for the 8's

I've got 8j ET48 with 225/45/17. Lowered on coilovers the rears catch if I have a passenger. 215's would give you no issue at all.

The Rota Fighters I'm selling are 8J et48 with 215/45 tyres and they fit perfectly, No rubbing what so ever.

I'm now running Enkei NT03 8J et35 with 225/45 and they fit but they have loads of poke, so anything lower then OEM/Mugen suspension It would need the arches rolling and some negative camber to fit without touching.

Eibach springs, 17x8J ET49 with 225/45 rubber here - I've not seen evidence of rubbing yet.

Advan RC2s 17x7.5 ET45 on 215/45 and Eibach Sportline springs and my rear arches needed to be rolled as it sat on the arch lip
