Advice Please , wheel size and offset E85

[terry&jane]

Hi, I've been offered some wheels that are 8.5" fronts and 9.5" rear, does anyone know what offset will be ok? I'm currently on 8" F and 8.5" R with offset 47/50 (not lowered)

The guy is abroad and can't tell be what the offsets are at the moment but looking at an offset calculator I reckon anything less than ET47/50 could be a problem?

Are any of you running 9.5" rears? and if so what offset have you got please?

Any help gratefully received

I am on 8.5 fronts and 9.5 rears with an offset of et35 all round, lowered, without issues.
Why you think an offset of less than 47/50 would be a problem I have no idea :?
When you get the full details of the wheels post them up and their suitability can be assessed.

Thanks for replying. The offset calculator says the wheel will be 30mm further out and no way is there 30mm

God I'm confused :wink:

What are the offsets of the wheels you are looking at?
My rear wheels extend 28mm more than the standard wheels without issues.

The guy I'm trying to buy from is still abroad so can't find out yet, he's about as much use as t*ts on your ear lobs How you can advertise wheels but don't include the offset is beyond me! They are Riva DTM CSL reps so I reckon they will be ET33 on the rears. I've got 108s 8.5" ET50 with 15mm spacers and the wheels just level with arch so that's why I'm nervous about 9.5" ET33ish

I would also double check the widths cos I've not seen Riva Dtms in those widths before in 18s or 19s

I agree I can find 9.5" ones anywhere! I reckon I should walk away, reckon the guy selling is a goon

I'll wait to see what he says if he ever returns
