Just wondering if anyone knows:

Currently have the 19's which you know, their 7.5" wide with an et18

the 20's i have ordered are 8.5" wide and have an et15

BUT

im worried they will stick out too much and catch on the fibreglass kit when i drop it to the floor, anyone know if they will as mine sit perfect now or shall i get an et so they sit in more with them being wider?

Help and "useful" comments appreciated

as a rough guess mate, doesnt your old Et18 mean these new 20s will stick out less because they ae Et 15? so iam sure u will get away with the exta 1"

How come corsa's can have ET42 max then any lower and they will scrub ...
Surely that means the lower down "ET" you go the furthur out to the arches they will go, so rub more .... ?

the lower the et the more they stick out, i know its only like 3mm or something but its enough especially if the wheels are 1inch wider as i need them to fully sit in still like they do.

Rob B - the car has had major arch work done making the car ok to roll at -120mm on 19's altho driving like that would stuff if on a bumpy road

I was just making an example that if your ET is lower they will stick out more.

They will stick out 1.57 cm more than your current wheels (1/2" due to extra width either side of wheel centre + 3mm due to offset)

Have you seen the new bi-spinners? As the outer spinner rotates one way, the other spinner underneath goes in reverse!!!

Crazy.
