Q about rims and tyres...

[Anakin]

I´m soon buying new rims and i´m little confused about the size and ET and will they fit without rubbing...

The rims are Momo Corse 7,5x17 and tyres 215/40R17 Nangkang or Nexan. ET 42.

I´ve heard that there won´t be any problems. I´ve also heard that running 215/40R17 and 7,5x17 the ET shoud be 48?

Any opinions?

+42 will probably give you rubbing problems.. run +45 or +48 and it should be OK

ET 48 could be very tight on the strut...
ET45 would fit and also ET42... but i think there you must be careful on the outside of the rear fenders.... there it could rub

I´m seriously thinking to roll the fenders... So it won´t be a big problem. I was more afraid of rubbing the springs/inside.

[killuminati]

no, ET48 would rub deffinitely..

stock on 6Jx15'' is ET45, so on 7,5J you have to put ET38..


here is just for show with momo course.. :thumb:

7,5Jx17'', ET38

Is it possible that the ET is different in 2.0 sport and prefacelift models? Since my stock wheels are 7x16" (no idea what ET ) and 195/50R16 tires...

BTW those looks great! :thumbsup:

Is that tire/rim size chart available somewhere?
