What offset of wheels can i use on my 57 vrs?

Cheers

Somewhere around ET35 to 50 should work. You can get away with more on the back but not at the front otherwise they'll stick out beyond the arches.

I’m running ET42 on mine and the tyres on the back are pretty close to the arches, so I’m not sure how you’d get away with ET35

hmmm ok cheers guys was looking at a set of 35s rs6 reps maybe to much then :sweat:

That might be the extra plastic on my Scout wheel arches the but my winters are et42 and I use 15mm spacers on back so theoretically et 27!

Also use 25mm spacers with summers so et 25 :o

215 40 r18 on et35 8j clears the lip in the rear arch by about 1-2mm. 225 on 8j et35 definitely rubs on the rear. I think I just caught the front arches with 225 8j et35 too.

Fore the front I would suggest 38 is the most you can go, you can then use spacers to improve things at the back.

Depends on how wide a a rim you go for as well

I'm 8 inch wide et45 and fine. Keeping 8's Rears I suspect et38 ISH would be ok - front wise anything less will poke out of the arches unless you can add some -ve camber to bring the top in.

That's on unstretched 225 40 rubber
