rafikdous Posted 8May, 2018 Report Share Posted 8May, 2018 I have these in Melbourne. Not sure of their ET. have to pull them off to check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
targa george Posted 8May, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 8May, 2018 Hi @rafikdous The wheels look good. Easy way to tell the ET is to view the numbers either side of the valve used to inflate the tyre. If the numbers either side are 7 and 55, it is a seven inch wide wheel with an offset of 55. If it's not too much trouble, please identify the part numbers of the wheels which is on the back of each wheel. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafikdous Posted 9May, 2018 Report Share Posted 9May, 2018 no numbers next to the valve. Will have to pull the wheels off when I get a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafikdous Posted 9May, 2018 Report Share Posted 9May, 2018 Found this on the front wheels which makes them 17x7 and ET55 @symsy yes I have spacers i don’t think you are talking about the same car. I bought it without an engine and still in the process of sorting it out hopefully drivable by end of the week and RWC next werk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

targa george Posted 20May, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 20May, 2018 Symsy Replied to your PM. On 9 May 2018 at 7:51 PM, rafikdous said: Found this on the front wheels which makes them 17x7 and ET55 @symsy @rafikdous Thanks for following up and apologies for my late reply. Returned yesterday from an OS holiday. Fronts are the right size and offsets. Interested. Rears? Fellow PFAers Waiting on replies from @symsy and @rafikdous. Still on the hunt. Looking to buy a set of 17 inch turbo twist rims. 2 x 7inch fronts x 55 offset and 2 x 9 inch rears x 55 offset. Live in Sydney and would prefer to view them personally but if you're from interstate and hoarding a decent set, please forward me a set of photos. Easy way to tell the ET/offset is to view the numbers either side of the valve used to inflate the tyre. If the numbers either side are 7 and 55, it is a seven inch wide wheel with an offset of 55. If the numbers either side of the valve are 9 and 55, it is a nine inch wheel with an offset of 55. If it's not too much trouble, please identify the part numbers of the wheels which is on the back of each wheel. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have seen it unless you pointed it out. 2 hours ago, rafikdous said: @rafikdous Thank you for going to the trouble of removing rims and taking pictures. Unfortunately, with an ET of 15 on one of the wheels, they won't do. The search continues............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafikdous Posted 23May, 2018 Report Share Posted 23May, 2018 nothing personal but I tend to agree with OZ930, its 5mm. Hardly noticeable to the naked eye nor it will make a real difference in clearance Why are you so adamant about ET55? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
