What is the widest wheels you can go for
 

What is the widest wheels you can go for on a classic, i need to get a new set of wheels on the Scoob to fit over my brembos and want to know what is the widest i can go... would 8.5 j fit without wider arches, or does it also have something to do with the ET aswell.. And i dont have coilovers...

Pictures on wheels also would be great help.. Or any info on past or present experience..

I have cut back my rear arches already so they can handle a little wider then normal....

I had 8x17's et35 on my RA

Cheers James.. Did you have coilovers though??

Do they do Subarus with anything else ;)

A bit of chamber will help aswell

there on mine now with no coilovers

Cheers Chris i forgot about that, i came to yours and you showed me them last time didnt you... Do they rub at all, i ideally want to get a set of 18's..

You can do 8x18 with an ET50 or ET51, a bit touch'n'go as to whether they will rub or not. My 8x18 ET51 were OK unless it had weight in the back and the car went over a large bump/dip.

Depends on suspension and tyre choice (some tryres are wider then other despite being the same size markings)

yes mate thay were on when you came over ,you are more than welcome to come over and have another look at them some time but im away form tomorrow ( Tuesday )for a week
no rubbing at all now that ive sorted the rear arches but thay are 17 not 18

Cheers buddy... Can i ask a silly question.. Is ET the size from the hub to the outer part of the wheel.. If that makes sense..

Sweet, hope you have a nice Holiday mate and i will have to arrange a time when you get back to come up again to have a little look.. :D
