Okay so a few people have got 20mm spacer kits on atm which is lovely, im bored of my currently alloys now and found some 16x7J alloys i quite like recently but given the option of two flavours et15 and et25
Now the stock Gti alloy is 15x6J (rim width) with et/offset of 40mm
Now question is how many mm's extra stance can one get away with... without getting tyre scrub
Also does one need to take rim width into account also with offset/et?
As going from 6J rim to 7J rim is 25mm extra rim width total and 12.5mm ethier side of the alloy hub.
So in theory if et was et25 compared to stock 40-25 = 15mm spaced + this 12.5mm extra alloy rim width so total stance 27.5mm
If et was 15 would be 37.5mm extra
In simplified terms
The stock GTi alloy from the hub sticks out 3.5cm
20mm spacers make it stick out 5.5cm
My Rozest (15x6.5J) Et 30 alloys stock stick out 5.125cm
The Prorace 2's 16x7J Et 25 stick out 6.25cm
Prorace 2's 16x7 Et 15 stick out 7.25cm
Question is how much extra do we rekon almera arches can take?
