WHEEL OFFSET QUESTION...???
 

What's the lowest offset ET?? that you can run in the Classic GC8 4-door bodyshell, without resorting to rolling/cutting arches?

This would be running 7J x 17" alloys with 215/40 tyres... Plus -1.5deg camber all round (should help a bit)...

roughly et40...

Cheers.

Would ET38/37 be okay... Or is that pushing things?

a friend of mine has et 35 7j 17s on with 215 40 17 with sti springs and he has no problems atall looks nice aswell

Well joz taylor has stated et35 is being used so 38/37 should be fine.

Tayler has there been any arch work done, or just standard arches.

Cheers you two.

My wheels are actually near-OEM spec ET45... But just wanted to know, in case I have to fit spacers greater than 5mm thick - i.e. 8mm ones and longer studs - for when I fit a 330mm big brake kit.

I prob won't need the spacers... but thought I'd better ask. ;)
