Hi
@av3nger and welcome to the forum.
Would it be allowable in Aus to fit wheels with a different ET offset to ‘move’ the tyre in or out slightly instead of using spacers?
I appreciate this thread is for 17” wheels, and only asking, as when I fitted my ‘guaranteed-to-fit’ 19x9s with ET50 and 275 40R19 tyres I found the fronts gently rubbed the plastic arch liners on full lock. On checking VWCV UK’s website I found they offer 20x9s with ET45 and 275 35R20s.
So, to try ‘match’ the offset, I have 5mm spacers with longer wheel bolts.
If I’d known previously I would’ve looked for ET50 wheels.
