mantacrazy22 Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 Hi guys I'm looking at a set of deep dish rims 4x100 et25 7j and center bore 70mm does any one know if they will fit without any mods I'm currently running a standard suspension setup thanks in advance matt Quote
Jessopia74 Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 ET25 is a bit too much I think at 7J mate. the spigot would not be an issue as you can get adapter, but they would sit right on the arch lips. You might get away with it, if not get the lips rolledย Quote
mantacrazy22 Posted December 31, 2021 Author Posted December 31, 2021 Nice one mate ill scrap the idea of thoes๐what et would you say is perfect for the manta not too much poke so it catches arches and not to recessed Quote
Jessopia74 Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 ET30 with 7J, depending on tyres ofc, safe is ET35,ย I am currently ET32 with 7.5Jx17 and 215 tyres at the limit of clearance on front Quote
mantacrazy22 Posted December 31, 2021 Author Posted December 31, 2021 Nice one mate thanks for that info the ones I saw where 15s but don't fancy modifying arches or stretched tyres to accommodateย 1 Quote
Jessopia74 Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 Here is pic, 7.5 front(215) and 8" rear (235) you get idea of clearance to lip then ย 1 Quote
mantacrazy22 Posted December 31, 2021 Author Posted December 31, 2021 What's the profile on thoesย Quote
mantacrazy22 Posted December 31, 2021 Author Posted December 31, 2021 Cool that gives me a good idea what to look for sweet looking berlinetta BTW mate 1 Quote
evo3000 Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 i echo the above et35 7.5j is perfect on the manta without any strut or arch contact but you have to factor the springs in if your going down the lowering route that is๐ However i have often thought if we leave things as GMย intended life would be so much simpler๐ 1 1 Quote
mantacrazy22 Posted December 31, 2021 Author Posted December 31, 2021 My intention was to leave it as gm intended but it's to tempting to throw in a few mods don't think I'll be lowering but will see what it looks like when I eventually get new wheels cheers and all the bestย 1 Quote

Happy new year to you and all...jase๐ My silver 1.8 coupe in the pics is on -40mm but that was from the original 1.8 ride height, that I think is +25mm higher than STD GTE. ย And it's about right as it looks great.ย 1 Quote
mantasrme Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 I've run 7x15 ET25 wheels and they are fine even on a lowered car, infact i'm currently running 7x16" et25 on my hatch too. Have a look at https://www.willtheyfit.com and you can see just how much more there is inboard/outboard with different widths and offsets. Very useful to visualise it. From memory the BMW crosswire 7x15's that many people ran at one point are et25 7x15's, they fill the arches nicely but do not rub. Think i even have a set in my wheel pile still. With et25 on a 7" rim the outer edge is 3.65mm further out than the et35 7.5" example of evo3000 above. So if they fit well the narrower 7" will also work with the lower number offset. The 7.5" rim is 12.7mm wider than the 7", 6.35mm of that is each side if the offset was the same et25 as the 7" wide one. But the offset is et35 which pushes the whole wheel inboard 10mm. So that outer edge would then be 3.65mm in from the outer edge of the 7" et25. The inner edge of the 7.5"et35 is 16.35mm further in than the 7"et25 Oh and for reference if you use the willtheyfit site the standard GT/e alloys are 6x14" et30 with 195/60/14 tyres so you can see what a different tyre size will do to your speedo accuracy at the same time as width for clearance. 2 Quote
rutts Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 15x7 et 25 fit great with 205 50 15 tyres no modification needed. Run them no problem. The hatch is now running 15x8 et30 205 50 15 no touching with a 40mm drop.ย 3 Quote
mantacrazy22 Posted January 1, 2022 Author Posted January 1, 2022 Thanks for the info guys all good to know really like the et25 wheels I've seen but didn't want to shell out a load of money for wheels that don't fit Quote
Danny D114BCW Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 My Ronals are et25 and fit perfectly.ย 3 Quote
