o oh. bought another set of rims

[Armond]

that was 3-4 years ago and the suspension has changed. perhaps you should. go to bed and sell some more tires.

So you changed the steering arm angles AND managed to move out your spindle assembly?

LOL..I changed the whole car. Go to bed.

Well, did you change the spindle angles and move out the hub assembly? Enlighten me.

[Tommy]

Enkei 92's? will 15x7 et38 fit up front without any problems?

Will need minimum 10mm spacer.

Dont sell your Rs's for the love of god.

I will sell a kidney first.

I told Armond it's going to be more like 15-16mm. But sounds like he's not listening to me either.

Ray,

I'm prolly the first to have the Rota RB's at ET30 (ET25 werent available then), a 3mm spacer would have cleared the steering arm but ended up with 5mm because 3's werent on the shelf. Tommy is closer on his estimate, 10-11mm spacers. Not 15-16 and I'm more concerned about not having enough turns at the studs.This is my 5th set of rims and at 139.00 a wheel, I figured I try and test them.

It's not that I didnt listen but you can only explain so much on text messages and forums such as this one. Opinions are like assholes. To each his own.

Time for me to go on the water.

[jerry]

the *thought* of all the work just to keep those rims semi-clean is enough to scare me away.

q-tips anyone?

i have an idea how they'd look on my car,.... after a couple months

[tjones02]

Yes, a 15x7 with an et28 offset will clear as long as it's perfectly straight. If the lip gets bent at all it'll hit the tie-rod. Once the lips are bent, and on our roads that's a truism, it'll need 3mm more spacers. So, your 15x7 et38 Enkis should clear with 12mm spacers just fine. Now you've got to find quality 12mm hubcentric spacers, Good Luck....

Ask me how I know that 15x7 et28 will clear as long as the wheel is straight... I present my set of BBS Nardi wheels....

correct me if Im wrong but I thought our cars have lugcentric not hubcentric hubs. In any case,you can get Alcoa 6061T6 billet aluminum lug or hubcentric spacers, 3 to 60mm from Adaptec Speedware.

It's not an opinion so much as it either fits or it does'nt. Also a 3mm spacer would not have given you enogh room between the tire and the strut tube. 5mm was the best fit. Again it either works or does'nt.

I take back my estimate. I put my money on 13-14mm since you don't have coilovers but have BBK. Good luck, Maverick!

Depends on what front brakes you've got.... If you have the vented front upgrade then you've likely got 320i front hubs which are hubcentric. :b....

I have stock Tii brakes and hubs.

Keep me posted. I appreciate you calling.

Enkei called me back and said they might produce ET25 down the road and check back in 6mos.e-mail from Japan said" they can make the mold if they have an order of 1500 sets". The 92's just came out late Feb and they're feeling out the market for now. Too bad they're not Rota's because I can probably ask someone to speak to the owner and make it happen. Oh well. I tried.
