Playo Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Im looking to order some 7x13 wheels for my narrow body live axle. Its currently on 6x13 ET37. From that i guess an ET25 would be the closest to that with a 7" wide wheel right? Can anyone with a similar type westy running 7" width tell me what ET your running?

Hammy Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm on 7*15 ET22 on the front ET 12 on the back to fill the arches But satisfy yourself I'm right before you buy !! no clearance issues around the callipers on 15's tho See pics on my link -these show ET 12 all round.. I er changed the front wheels after these after my car rejected a front one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas12v Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I've order 7.0x13" ET35 and am quite concerned I may have ordered the wrong offset. They arrive tomorrow so will find out. I can spacer offset down so not the worst but not ideal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgey Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Well, I've just gone through this all last week!! It's your lucky day lol :-) I've a narrow with live English axle at the back. My car was originally fitted with (and they were a perfect fit - filling the arches etc - see my sig below). Front: 5mm spacer , and then an ET 38 on 15" 6.5J wheels (spacer makes this an ET 35 wheel) Rear: 5mm spacer, and then ET 15 on 15" 6.5J wheels (spacer makes this an ET 10 wheel) I've now got, with no spacers: Front: ET 23 - 15" 7J wheels - had to move the cycle cycle wing out by about 2cm Rear: ET 23 - 15" 7J wheels - fit perfectly - fill the arches nicely and room to spare inside. So the answer is 23 or there abouts. They definitely fit the rear on 7" tyres, and the front is just a case of jiggling the cycle wing about to suit. Atlas, If you find your ET 35's are too far in you can simply correct with cheap spacers. A 10mm spacer will make ET 35's act like ET 25's . Don't forget we are dealing in mm here and there is a fair bit of room for error. Here are my new wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playo Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Thanks for the replies, looks like my initial plan of ET25 is about right then! Dodgey your wheels look great by the way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Dodgey, OK, mine are Superlite. A company I wouldn't do business with ever again. See HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgey Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Lol - nice read Norman :-) Thanks Playo - I bought them 50% for the wheels and 50% for the tyres :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playo Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 What tyres are they Dodgey? I bought some A048's in 185/60 for the front and 205/60 for the rear. @Norman - Can I ask where you bought them cool rear number plate lights/screws?

Atlas12v Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Mine arrived today will trial fit later, fingers crossed they don't get lost in the arches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 The number plate lights that look like cap headed screws are from the US. However I think they're on the bay now. I'll have a look. ed to add HERE YOU GO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playo Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Wheels look great Atlas! hope they work out ok Cheers for that Norman I will be getting a pair for my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgey Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Very similar to my previous wheels. Very nice. At worst you may end up buying 2 or 4 spacers. At £5 each it's no biggie http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-10mm-Universal-Alloy-Wheel-Spacers-Shims-4-5-Stud-/330568470516?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyre_Trims_Trims_ET&hash=item4cf76a8ff4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
