Running 17's ET40 4 x 100

Guest · Post Wed Feb 02, 2005 2:41 pm

Anyone had to order slightly over offset with spacers - I believe the correct offset is ET15 on E30 4 stud.

I'm interested in this wheel

but it will need spacers I believe...big mistake or worthwhile?

You will need 20mm spacer for et40. You should only get the hub centric type. I got momo ones with longer bolts and they are fine.

hub centric wheels or spacers (sorry a bit thick) - i take it the wheel supplier would supply the overlength bolts and correct spacers?

hub centric wheels or spacers

Hub centric spacers - as opposed to just cheap plain ones that can cause balancing issues.

Hi

I have et40 on my bmw. I tried normal flat spacers and they caused the whell to vibrate at higher speeds.

Hub centric spacers have a lip on them that correctly fit your wheel. They are alot more expensive than normal spacers, about Ãƒ”šÃ‚£60 inc longer bolts. Just remember that you will need longer lockers as well.

its so difficult getting the right look, but getting something different from the norm, but the right 'style', and i want to get it right first time...

thanks for all the technical help too...especially the hub centric thing, i never knew about that.
