Think youve got confused on the way you work out an offset :look: To make the wheels ET45, 5mm needs to be milled off the hub face, not added on! If the wheels are ET40, and your running 5mm spacers, then its artificially making your offset ET35.

If you take the spacers off, then the wheels will sit further into the arch, and it should handle better too :)

Super T's. They fit fine do stick out a touch but dont catch anywhere. As said I've fitted them with the things on and the sit on the car fine, nice and tight.

I got OZ wheels fitted to my corsa, bought them off someone on here. Looking at them they are et 40. When I put them on he had some ring pieces that he said I should use when putting them onto my car. These fitted to the innerside of the wheel so that it then fits onto the car.

Anyone any ideas what these are and if I actually need them on. Wheels fit fine with them on had them on since Dec dont rub andywhere at all.

Help please

Thanks:thumbs:
