Wheel et questions

[Gunny110]

Hi all, I'm thinking of getting a set of 17" ZCW angel blacks for the derv. However the width is only 7j, I want the wheel to line up with the arch on the rear perfectly. My question is what et would I require to achieve this?

Around et32/35

Thanks bradderz, is that 32 front 35 rear?

 

[Bradderz_1988]

Id say stick to same all round you could probably do et35 fronts and et32 rear for more rear poke/stance.

Heres mine with ET35 boleros

ET35 is about spot on for the A4 imho.

Thanks lads, looking for stance as she is very low

For stance you'd need poke and a slight stretch if running low to really pull it off.

How about ET29 on B5? Would that come to much out?

 

[Gunny110]

Already have about 4mm stretch on the rear, I don't want the wheels picking out, just sat nice and snug under the lip of the arch

ET29 is RS4 spec iirc

My AMGs was 8.5j with 225/45 tyre was ET35. I put a 10mm spacer on the back and they lined up a lot better with the spacers than with out.
The fronts could do with 5mm to be spot on as well.

Gunny, you should know the ET of the wheels before buying?
If they are 35, fit them and see how much space there is between the arch and side of the wheel to help spec up spacers.

Not bought them yet bud, just looking into it
