Correct offset?

[MISSY30]

I'm sure someone posted a wheel calculator thing but I can't find it, I just want to check that some wheel's I'm looking at are the right fitment there offset 20? (7.5x16)

ET20 should be fine. BBS are et24, which means they sit 4mm further into the arches, & are obviously narrower. That means you *could* run into arch clearance issues, depending on what tyres you go for.

There's a tyre size calculator here: http://www.tyresave.co.uk/tyresize.html

Hartge are ET25 if its any use

Hartge are also 16" and 7.5J - I run 205 profile on mine, so if you don't go any wider I don't *think* you would hit the arches at an extra 5mm sticking out

what happened to the 15" BBS, Missy?

disclaimser - everything I say is probably wrong

i run 205/45/16 with no rubbing at all

Thanks people,
Is anyone running 215/40/16's?

Orangecurry, The search goes on for the Holy Grail that is BBS with matching mark's!

i'm running 215/40/16's on ET28 (approx, measured...) alpina replicas. they never get near scrubbing. it's also -40mm with springs that are far too soft and the suspension bottoms out at the moment! no scrubbing though.

you should be absolutely fine.

the 17" BK171 alpina reps are ET20 and mine scrubbed like a shite with them on and with the same suspension setup.

me too no probs

Missy- you'll be fine with 7.5 by 16 with et20. i have the same size and have no problems at all. 215/40/16 rubber will be fine too. ideal is 215/45/16 but not many good tyres in this size.

im running 215 40 17" with an et of 20, sits mint!

did go for 225 45 17 on the front, car DID NOT like it

[panesar_e30]

8x17 et 30, slammed 60 all round! no probs at all with rubbing at all.

im running 205 40 17 with a nice stretch, dont think 215's will go under!
