In the owners manual it says Et 42 or 43.

and i just ran down to the bottom of my garden at 12pm lol, to check my old Wolfrace Sport Radars, that come as standard, for you, and they are Et 42.

Im now running Et 20 on the front and Et 15 on the rear, with blenty of scrubbin on the back wen i av passengers, my arches deffo need pulling a touch!

hope that answeres ur question,

Cant remember what site it was, but when i was looking for new wheels, i typed in my 6n's details, and it said that anything between a 35 and 45 is fine on 6n's, i had sport raders as standard and now i'm on mi pirelli's with a ET38. and my steelies where a ET35.

Hope it helps

nice one mate!!! with ur new rims do they stick out alot??? and do they pass the MOT??

Jay's MK4, Euro Stylee! · Fri Apr 21, 2006 6:20 pm

Alrite mate,

yeah they stick out a lil bit yeh, its the look i was after tho, obviously, otherwise i wunt of bought Et 20 n Et 15.

And yeah i think it is an MOT failure, but i put these on after MOT, and thats why iv kept tho old ones! just for mot day!

check the pics below.

as i sed earlier i do get a fair bit of scrubbing with the rears when i have passengers, so the arches are going to have to be pulled slightly sooner or later, especially as i have coilovers planned to go on in the near future.

looks sweet!!

whats the width of ur rims??? o and does this effect the barings or anythin else???

Jay's MK4, Euro Stylee! · Sat Apr 22, 2006 7:10 pm

Hi mate,

yeh cheers i love the look, just cant want for coilver so i can run her at -80mm front and -70mm rear. At the mo she is at -50mm fron and -40mm rear.

The rims are 8"s front and rear, and no i dont think it has affected wheel bearings or bushes or anything, although it really did feel a lil strange to drive at first, only at times tho, thats probly got more to do with the grippy tyres tho, the car would seem to torque steer wen bootin it out of a corner, even tho it realy shudnt with so little power. and on country lanes it sometimes felt as tho the car would just pul slightly, or shift to one side or another, and it does tend to pull on the steering wheel a lot more when braking on less than smooth roads. its probably got more to do with the tyres tho than anything. soon got used to it tho.

sorry for the essay lol.

jay.

with my new tyres 195/55/14's with my pirelli's, it does exactly the same, pulls when breaking and sometimes on crapy roads it pulls either way!
think it is just the wheels, bigger and wider than the cars ever intended to have. same thing with the cornering i think.

your wheels are bad, mine are only 6.5", wish they was wider like yours!
