35ET or 40ET???

[FrankA6]

ok so the new wheels i ordered are 35ET , but ive been looking at diff wheels and all they come in is 25ET , which is a no no , and 40ET , would 40ET's work and is anyone running them on a narrow body A6??? it would be 19x9.5 40ET

WHAT! New rims and you dont even have the others yet???


Im doing the same. I dont thing 40 will work on a 9.5 maybe on a 7.5 to 8 though

[FrankA6]

no i think im going to stick with my 19x9.5 wheels, i was just wondering , lol, did you not get the LM-R's then?

ok ok i know your talkin about offset.. but what does ET mean?

Hey frank here's a link to a wheel offset calculator. It'll tell you how much change in the hub space and how much more the wheels will poke out or retract in compared to whatever you're running now. So just take those measurements out to your car and see if the damn things will fit.

the lower the number the more its sticking out, mine are 38mm, but stock were 35mm, so you might end up using a spacer because i am not sure it will clear ur front caliper....but since u will be running 9.5 in front you need to be very careful with offset.

yeah im sticking with my 35ET's so, this will all work!
