Will ET42 fit?

Will 16 inch wheels with an offset of ET42 fit on my GSI ok?

 

[Kev_mk3]

yes you really want to stay as close to 49 as possible but mind you ive ET37 17's on mine

Cheers pal, is there anything you dont know

the womans mind

to be fair i am a ph2 astra geek as no one knew much about them and as i live next to the factory i did some digging just a hobby for me.

i have et42 17`s and they be cool.

 

[D4N13L]

So what about these dimensions?

4x114.3 offset is et35.....7.5jj..........215/40/16

 

[KROW]

4X114 sounds like a ford fitment to me? 7.5jj little wide for the Astra, doable though, MattDaly has 7.5's and had rubbage so had to trim his arches a little, 215/40/16 sounds fine

 

[fleck]

4x114 won`t happen too easily, u want to look for 4x100 matey.

 

[Kev_mk3]

defo 4x100 wouldnt go anywhere else IMO

Yeah it's because they're ET38's though, ET42 should be alright. Although I run slightly stretched tyres, with full width ones it would rub like a bitch. Use 205/40's on 7.5J wheels, looks cool with a slight stretch

How do i normally find out the ET number on my wheels as i'm getting rubbing on the inside of my wheel, i'm lowered on 60mm all round and it's driving me crazy with the occasionaly rub on top then the squeaking noise when i'm doing about 50 mph lol

 

[D4N13L]

What wheels, it usually stamped on the inside of the wheel.

Have you checked the tyre is not rubbing on the shock?

the et is inside the wheel stamped on (possibly on a spoke)

is your car a 5door by any chance? sounds like there the wrong wheels for the car totally.

No mate, they are Team Dynamics black Pro Race 1's i think, not had chance to do owt really yet, only just found out today, a friend told me it might be rubbing on the shocks, what is the plan if it is that though, i'm crap with owt like this.

It's a 3 door 2.0 Ecotech sport mate, i've a strange feeling that somethings wrong with the suspension though cause it seems to sit lower than normal, could be wrong type of wheels, as soon as i've checked i'll stick what i find on here and hopefully someone can help me

If it is rubbing on the shock some spacers will do the job as the will nudge the wheel out a bit
