Explain how ET can cause wheel wobble or add to tyre wear??? Incorrect centrebore or using non hubcentric spacers can cause wheel wobble. If they are correct and you have wheel wobble you either have worn bushes or balljoints on the car or your wheel needs a balance, you have a buckle or your tyre has a manufacturing defect.318-is wrote: well et refers to how far in or out a wheel sticks in the arch in simple terms. Each car has a specific number that the car is set up too. if the Et is wrong, all sorts of problems occur, like wobling wheels, incorrect tyre wear (happened on my golf) and even wheel bearing failure
like stuart says, spacers can be used to correct this but will again eat wheel bearings
the Et of an e30 with four stud fitment (yours) is et25. i would imagine you can get away with a few higher or lower each side, but thigns like et40 i would steer clear off!

They can be made to fit with pulled rear arches but that's not what you're asking is it?
Thats not true, i had 9x16's et 15 on the rear of mine and had no rubbing issues, until 2 in the back and going over humps. that was with a 35mm drop.ste wrote:The 9x16 rears with an ET of 15 will rub like a 13 year old with a copy of Razzle.

9x16 with et15 upfront dont work tho, they rub the strut bad so spacers needed or lower ofset.
Jamz them KT5's are pants really are, KT1's are lovely as well as KT4's. I know a place in germany that does them cheap if you want to know. anyother help just give us a shout mate.
I'm surprised by that Nav, My rears are only 8.5j ET13 (so 2mm further out but a 1/2" thinner rim) and they rub like a bitch - i.e. wouldn't even rotate until the arches were 'massaged'.nav786 wrote:Thats not true, i had 9x16's et 15 on the rear of mine and had no rubbing issues, until 2 in the back and going over humps. that was with a 35mm drop.ste wrote:The 9x16 rears with an ET of 15 will rub like a 13 year old with a copy of Razzle.

.. went for the Pina reps when i first brought the car cuz they were easy to find and i knew they would suit...going this route isnt so easy..not all wheels,hardly any infact suit the e30 IMO.. ..sort of 
Told yer.. they look much better on..and i think will look even better with my Colour..You can get Gold centre caps too for those which will match the gold flick ive got..think there look very tasty.. just gota get my head round the 16'' bit..stuartgallafant wrote:on reflection of what i said previously... i actually like those KT5's on that black cab!!!
