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

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

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.

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

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

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

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