Title: Will they clear R32 fronts?
Post by: SL03 JOE on March 02, 2012, 07:17:05 am

Right I have the option to buy some BBS RS 17x9, rear 9.5j. ET 30 and will sit flush on car. But would they clear front R32 brakes?


Thanks, Joe.

Mate, a 9" wheel with an offset of ET30 will stick out a further 40mm, a 9.5 46mm.......  :scared:

I'd say definitely no as mine are ET35 and there's no chance of them clearing some R32 brakes i bought without massive spacers and raising the car  :sad1:
