What spacers you got Dave? You will probably need at least 15mm to bring ET42 down to ET27 to clear your brakes.

15mm mate.. is the 7.5j to thin?

No mate will be fine. They should clear the suspension struts and the brake calipers.

Scoobs tend to be ET45 so my guess is Toyota. As you know I've been watching wheels for ages and most 5x100 wheels on eBay are from jap cars.

If only your wheels were 17s. I'd rip your arm off.

 

[s3dave]

Well i got them.....







Thoughts?

 

[Westy]

My first thought is: stop using ****** US imageshack. Tapatalk doesn't like it.

2nd thought is: they should look good on your car with the red stripe.

 

[jojo]

Very Jap, not sure if they will look good on the S3, just fit them and let us seeee! lol

 

[rhubarb4]

I'd go with this Dave, 20mm spacers makes them ET22, which is the deal offset for stance, since they are 7.5" wide right?

 

[s3dave]

Yeah Jo it seems i need 22mm minimum so they are for sale....******... Not messing with that size of spacer... i know a few scooby lads that will take them....
cheers anyway
