5x114.3, 17x9 et -10 on a classic?
Hey guys,
found the wheels I want, I have got some 5x100 - 5x114.3 adapters on the way to myself courtesy of a member on here (Top man!)
The wheels I want are 17x9", et+10.
With the adapters it acts as a spacer too (20mm) so it will turn the wheels into ET-10 if I am correct?
I have typed this info into the wheel calculator and it will give me 30mm more on the inside edge of the wheel (Arch side) and 77mm poke out of the arch...
Can anyone see any issues with this? They have never been fitted to a classic before so I want to confirm I am not going to run into any issues!
The tyres going on them are the race compound Nankang NS2R's in 245/40/17, this will all be underneath a set of classic ABW wide arches. I have an arch rolling tool, and if it comes to it I am quite happy to cut the arches back etc.
Im hoping staying with the 17" wheels will combat most rubbing problems under heavy cornering etc!
Thanks

you are correct about the offset measurement, I have no idea how much space ABW arches will give you though. However, 77mm sounds a lot!
Why don't you quickly bolt them on and find out?

You'll never get an arch roller to roll/pull an arch for a 77mm excess wheel/tyre combo. It's a good job you are fitting ABW wide arches as you will certainly need them.
If you are running low then you will need to be cuting your original metal arches under the ABW arches to make room for the tyres.
Are you running coilovers too?

Yes, that's the other thing I forgot to mention, could be turning circle issues and will more than likely have to trim front of both front arches at the very least, possible front & rear of front arches!
To be honest, until you fit the wheels you won't know. Just be prepared to do some cutting. Fit wheels, check, cut a bit, check, cut a bit more etc until they fit. Then re-paint arches to stop rust.
