Borbet A 16x9 & 16x7.5 Offset???

[drop-a-dime]

Hey...

Wondering if anyone knows the proper offset for a staggered set of Borbet A's [16x9 + 16x7.5]. Car will be lowered 60/40 via H&R cup kit if that will make a difference?

Rims have been ordered but they will email me to check for proper offset before they ship em out

Oh yeah, and before someone says it...I did search the forum but could't find a thread that had this info

yeah thats the right wheel offset mate

thanks man but I know the width is good but I am wondering about the + or - from zero offset if that make sense... sometimes I see it wriiten as et___

OK I just need someone to confirm, I read somewhere that the front 16x7.5's was et20 and the rear 16x9's was et15... someone has gotta know cause so many seem to rock the borbet's

[munky30]

yes.

There is a "wheel/tire pro" on a N.A. website that recomends I get Et20 up front w/ 205/50/16's and Et25 out back w/225/45/16's

Is there anyone running this set up? it supposedly is closer to the stock rolling diameter compared to the traditional Borbet A E30 set up using Et15 on the rear w/215/40/16

any comments on this set up?... here is link to the thread if anyone is interested:

With a 40mm drop on the back the rears will rub even with 215/40. I am now running the same wheels on a car that is roughly standard ride height and they are fine.
Basically if you havent had the arches rolled/flared you wont be able to run a larger tyre than 215/40 with a 40mm drop.
