Hi Guys
I wonder if anyone can advise in the world of tyres/wheels, offsets etc. as I am not knowledgeable here
My new AD08R's rub ever so slightly on the back, more one side that the other and less so on the front. I'm planning on raising the entire car by 10mm soon but in the meantime....:
I currently have Dunlop Forged wheels with an ET48 offset (standard is ET60) with 8mm spacers on the front and 6mm spacers on the back. (not sure why the dude in Japan ran it this way)
On the front without the spacers they just clear the callipers by a few mm, so fine there to remove them front and back.
However now I have an extra 5mm either side of the rim thanks to the 225 tyres, I should be able to forgo the spacers and not suffer from the OE spacing being out too much (if I guess right, I should be ET53 with the tyres based on the floor contact patch).
Would you guys tend to agree? And would I suffer much from OEM being 7ET out?
Cheers
Ryan
