my 18" rims fitted........

[stevez]

didnt need spacer cos we got the et as we wanted it,its a 30et and 8,5j so the tires are just perfect not to strecht but not to straight if u know what i mean,and i will have to put or adjustable lowering or gas lowering, thanks for the compliments

[kristafari]

can you explain the 30et is that the width? inferior knowledge lol

[stevez]

the ET is how in and out the wheel stands out, so more the ET measures the more the rim stays in, example if i got a rim with ET of 20 it will stand out more then a rim of ET 35 so that way i dont need spacers, otherwise u will need spacers with a higher ET, thats why an original rim has an ET of normally 40 or 38 so u will need spacers to bring the wheel out, the lower the ET the better because u can always trim it to size.

the more the ET less meat there is on the rim to trim.

[benmkiv]

The technical definition is that the et is the difference between the centre of the wheel and the hub face

[stevez]

sometimes technical def. dont explain the exact meaning and how it works

[kristafari]

so high ET gives it a (--<>--) shape to the rim [tyres inwards],
and a low ET gives it a )--<>--( shape [tyres outwards]

Imagine --<>-- is the axel

[stevez]

the lower the et the more the rim sticks out, if u want a tyre to be more stretched u need more j
