Donington Park track day Sunday 26th February

No good. Et27 rear CSL rims can rub at -3 so def don't go worse than that.

What rims were you looking for?

Apex arc8 9.5/18, come in et35 or et22, was going to get the et35, didn't think there would be clearance issues.

What's the minimal spacing you need with your offsets for the Nitron shocks.

With mine I think you'd need about 30-32. But I don't see why you shouldn't be able to change the helper spring and get the bottom platform in a better place, higher or lower to miss the wider part of the tyre, or worse case use a Intrax platform as they seem smaller. Worse case et35 with 10mm spacer.

et32 will mean a 3mm spacer, that's what you use, so OK with the hub.

10mm?? rubbing?? Are the hub extenders a no go then?

Yep, 10mm to et25 will mean -3 camber nd still close to wheel arch, try and stay away from this.

I use 3mm spacer and it's fine as hubcentric bit still pokes out enough. You could try the 5mm but most say it doesn't allow enough of the hub ring to poke through.

Might be worth having a range of helpers springs handy when you fit them.

That's what the hub extender is for, smac says no, to me they look like they will work fine in keeping the wheel centric.

They will be under a lot of lateral stress though so you need to make sure they an take it. It's not just a location device but releases stress for the bolts.

[s.mac]

They will be under a lot of lateral stress though so you need to make sure they can take it

and the point you find they can't could be catastrophic :smt009

Mmm didn't think of that. Unless the hub extender touches the back face of the cutout from the wheel, it will move. Unless you put shims in.

Setra uses these wheels with Moton shocks, surely the pistons on them must be huge. so the diameter of the shock will be comparable to Nitron. But he has extended arches:banghead:

I want these wheels but can't be arsed fooking about with different helper springs.

Why not just buy TD pro race 1.2. 18x9 et30. They work, they look good, they are not too heavy, they are strong?

They weigh about 2.5 kg a wheel more and don't look oem:bigcry:

[s.mac]

They weigh about 2.5 kg a wheel more

how many times do you get out by yourself? meaning throw a passenger in and does it really matter? or lose some weight yourself :hahaha:

and don't look oem:bigcry:

does it matter for track?

have you looked at OZ Ultra

I know but these wheels I :smt055

by another car that they fit :whistle:

Setra is using 9.5/18 et 35 with ap's up front no issues with shock clearance, so worst way 3mm spacer:thumbs:

LOL aren't we back to 5mm spacers ......
