What size spacers would i need...

... to space out 15x6.5 inch et35 wheels to the same outer level as a 9x17'' et 15 wheel?

Want them to fill out g60 arches all round when im not going to be running my 9x17's for the new look...

 

6" wide wheel with 35mm offset would stick out 47.55mm
9" wheel with 15mm offset would stick out 99.3mm

So you'd need to space out the 15" wheel 51.75mm or use a 50mm spacer.

That can't be right!??

Someone slap me if thats wrong. I take it ET is in mm??

Offset Calculator

 

My calculations match that website.

You sure your wheels aren't 8x17 or something??

52mm spacer is a bit big I would have thought.

dude, you cant run 6.5" wide rims with that much power, you need traction !!

 

longer wishbones, like pandy 947 will add 1" each side without daft spacers

 

But he wont be able to run the 9x17 rims then

 

use a spacer saver as a spacer

 

50mm sounds about right

Et15 9x17's are going to stick out a mile dont forget

Where can i get good 50mm spacers from then?

 

I bet mine will stick out more

I wouldnt want to run 50mm spacer thats just madness..

 

Maybe you could use four of these, colour coded too

50mm spacer lol

 

my dad ran 50mm spacers on his 944 with no probs.

 

Simply use enough washers per bolt to space it the required distance, no need to spend on expensive items that do the same job

 

Get some Beetle RSI rims, have you seen the offset of those, there must be 100mm or more behind the spokes.. lol

 

50mm spacers..

 

You could use head bolts as wheel bolts.. lmao.

 

Even Recardos not that daft

 

Jesus Gary, is this 'multiple post' day or somethign?


I've got 20mm spacers.. wouldnt wanna go any further than that unless they're the bolt-to-hub jobbies, and even those are dodgy!
