teledials

[Jarred]

i've never seen the 'flat face' style before actually. Although I know rayray has looked at tele's before, and he discovered that there were HEAPS of different ones.

yes, et53, with a 20mm adapter/spacer becomes et 33.

what does it mean when people have et of 0? How is that possible? This is such a mindf*ck I really dont get it all, still waiting for the penny to drop.[COLOR="Silver"]

Ignore this ^^ ... "Zero Offset - the hub mounting part of the wheel is equal to the plane of the centerline of the wheel." Cheers Wikipedia. (cut me some slack its late).

So my wheels are positive by 53mm (i.e 53mm past the centreline of the wheel to the "curb-side" of the wheel) and some really deep dish ones might be negative (i.e. closer to the hub-side of the wheel).

so by adding a 20 mm spacer I move the effective position of the hub 20mm closer to the hub mounting surface of the wheel, thus reducing the positive offset (and therefore reducing the distance past the centreline of the wheel before reaching the hub mounting surface).

I need a drink. God help me if I'm struggling at this stage. I've just never seen offset explained properly that;s all.

Thanks for your help Jarred, and others!

I'm putting these up as EOI for now because I wont be working on them untill next year. Taking up very limited space at the moment.

Offers over $200 +shipping if you need it. Brisbane 4007.

Or if anyone you know with a kombi or a porsche wants them, let me know.

ahh man I would have loved to but I can't justify having 13 wheeeeeels when my car only has four. Gonna refurb the simmons and the 7 slots though (if I dont sell the 7 slots) Not sure which way I wanna go now though, like cheeky little pokey wheels or tidy big tucked 16s. Maybe I'll swap around.

How's your's looking?? I'm dyin to see some more pics man!

Ahhk, mines all good man, gonna tidy up and ad a few more things that are in the mail before taking any more pics and posting them up, contemplating whether I want some 15mm spacers for the rear, ATM she's 35mm from the ground at the lowest point
