T14PPA Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Im looking at alloys for the time being and they are 18" 8.5j et35 fronts and 9.5j et41 rears Will these fit? Any chance over uk brakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Simple answer the sizes will fit but whether they clear uk brakes or not depends on the spoke design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) Ive got 8.5j et30 on the front of mine, and they only just clear UK brakes. I'm sure you could run a 3 or even 5mm spacer if needs be, as long as you get around 8 turns on the wheel nuts, otherwise, you'll need longer studs. I've got 9.5j et 35 on the rear, and I think they need 25mm spacers to fill the arches properly *Edit* Fitted 15mm hubcentric spacers on the rear today, effectively creating an et20, and they look much better ! Thinking a 3 or 5mm on the front will make for a nice flush setup Edited July 9, 2013 by Mk4Gaz (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
