Et help

rathissolid · 04-11-2015, 11:06 PM

Hey guys ! Think after months of wheel searching I finally found a set that might work for me ! Rota grids from the UK (nj guy here haha )

I'm on the stock Msport for now but plan on dropping the car slightly on springs with the wheel purchase ( any advice on spring brands would be awesome )

This is the configuration
19x8.5 et 40
19x9.5 et 45

Will this work !? Any and all advice appreciated as I'm much more a performance orientated guy and wheels are new to me !

Thanks !!

Those are common dimensions that many of us run (my stats are in my signature below). They'll "fit". You just have to watch what tires/sizes you use, how much you lower, etc. or make mods to get them to work if you lower too much or try to use wider tires.

Here is an example of that same 8.5 ET40 | 9.5 ET45 setup :

Most customers use a 225/40/18 | 245/35/18 (no rubbing issues). A 255/35/18 rear can be hit or miss in terms of rubbing. It will depend on your ride height, tire brand/model, and alignment/camber specs.
