ET35 and hottuning???

[WABIT]

well...

sean came round with ET35 wheels this morning... i can safly say the rears sit fine

but the fronts need at least another 2mm for clearance as it hits on the adjusting bolt....

the reason i ask is because im puttin porsche wheels on my GLS...

they are 16x7 ET65 all round....

so the decision is i need 30mm front and 35mm rear

It's the width of the wheel. See how much clearance you have now dom and use an offset calc to see how much prouder to the strut the new wheel sits.

Hey guys, sorry for awakening this thread but i have a similar question as the OP... I have 17x7 rims with a +40 offset that sit on 205/40 tires. My question is: Would a set of hottuning coilovers fit on there or would the spring rub on my tire? Woudl be great if someone could help me

Thanks alot, Stef

[WABIT]

on what car mate? coilovers mount diffrently on diffrent cars
if its mk1 or 2 it will rub

EDIT: just realised you have a mk2 they will most likley rub or maybee not even mount onto the hub

cheers
