Wheels are looking great, need to get my ones done

Thanks, finally managed to go out for a drive today really happy with the ride on the 235's

That’s great that it’s worked out, wheels do look good and the spacers work well far as I can tell from the photo’s. Over in NZ if you put spacers on the car has to be complied which is around $600.
Anyway, pleased that you are happy with the tyre choice.

I think the bonnet might not be shut properly in the photo :lol:
the wheels are et43 all around, 17mm spacer front 14mm rear standard height for now

Ouch! thats a real shame, interesting as the ac schnitzer spacers are tuv approved and often sold with the wheels as part of the package!

If you have 8,5J ET 43 with 17 spacer that means outer rim will poke out 27.4mm.
I cant even imagine rubbing not occuring.
I am lowered, but on 8,0J with ET 37 and mine is rubbing, that's the same as putting 10 mm spacers to oe wheel 8,0 ET 47.

not sure what you mean by the outer rim poking out?

no rubbing so far, my setup gives a total offset of 26mm therefore equivalent of et31 (rounded) on an 8j wheel, i guess it depends how much you are lowered, i was running 8j et37 before and had plenty of clearance

Yes I guess lowering the car plays a huge role here.
