Wheel Offset and Spacers Help!

[mint_sauce16]

Hi .... Just Wondering ... if i Had Alloys With An Offset Of 38 For Example .... And I Put 10mm Spacers on.... Would The New Offset be 28 or 48???

Hope Somebody Knows

Example...

The 206 GTi Nimrods have an offset of ET25...

now the 106 GTi offset is ET16)...

To bring the offset of the 206 GTi Nimrods (ET25) to 106 GTi offset (ET16) you would need 10mm spacers.

So in your case with the wheels being ET38 and you've put 10mm spacers on the wheels now have an offset off ET28.

So basically what ever ET you have you minus the size of the spacer from the ET to give you your new ET.

i.e. ET25 - 10mm spacer = ET15

hope this helps you m8.

Cheers Mate!

So Would It Be Safe To Put Ford Alloys(et38) With Around A 20mm Spacer On... Cos I'm Sure That Would Have Safety Issues?

I Found A Thread About This Subject Now! Thanks Anyway

Yeh will be safe...

Just make sure you get hubcentric spacers as that way you will also be legal.

With hubcentric spacer you will also have no / very limited amount of wheel hobble.

And also you will have to buy 55mm longer bolts to go with the spacers.

just to jump on this question..ive got a 206 van, what wheels are possible to fit to it? am i able to fit 205/106 ect wheels to it as obviously the spacer thing wouldnt work opposite way lol

[woody89]

yea you would, aslong as the ET is smaller and the pcd are the same they will fit. i think the 206 has the largest offset in the peugeot range (could be wrong) so as far as im aware all pug wheels will fit. however extensive changes with affect stability and handling

anything above a 5mm spacer should be a hub sentric kit so there is no room for movement or vibrations. safty first and all that.

^ I run 32mm non-hubcentric spacers. That size spacer requires a kit that has hollow studs that screw into the hub. The spacer then fits over these studs and the wheel bolts go into the internal thread of the hollow section of the studs.
