<P>Hey the offset on my new wheels is ET35, but my old ones stuck out about a quarter of an inch more, what do you guys think? I havent put them on yet, I dont want to take any chances (on a low budget) with the tires rubbing. I will be running 195/50/15 if anyone forgot.....thanks for all your help!</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Tartantulas have an offset of 38mm.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>All reputable wheels have the offset stamped on them,
<DIV></DIV>>usually near the lug holes. looks like this: "ET38"

<P>Hey Im at school now but when I get home tonight </P></DIV>>Ill measure my wheels, the ones that are on there
<DIV></DIV>>stick pretty far out so im sure the offset is NOT
<DIV></DIV>>stock. The wheels i just got will sit in about a
<DIV></DIV>>quarter of an inch more. I measured the offset
<DIV></DIV>>already, but I dont remember what it is. I
<DIV></DIV>>already rolled the wheel wellls some, and I took out
<DIV></DIV>>the front inner fender panels. Ill take a look at the
<DIV></DIV>>shocks and springs and get back to you soon, Thanks
<DIV></DIV>>for your help

<DIV></DIV>>you mention the rims and need to check
<DIV></DIV>>offset, but you failed to mention
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>what rims you had (with offset) and
<DIV></DIV>>what rims you whent too (with new
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>offset) that stopped rubbing. I Had

<DIV></DIV>>Hi guys,
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> I used to have big time rubbing
<DIV></DIV>>problems with my old rims (Borbet M's).
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I found out the offset was wrong. I've
<DIV></DIV>>since replaced them with Enkei's
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>with the proper offset and I have no
<DIV></DIV>>problems. Offset on these cars is
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>crucial. Here's my setup that
<DIV></DIV>>absolutely doesn't rub:
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>H+R Sport Springs
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Boge Turbogas Struts
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Enkei RS5 16" Rims
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>BFG 205-40-16 Euro TA's
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Neuspeed Front Tie Bar
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Eurosport Rear Tie Bar
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I get a pretty good ride (feels more
<DIV></DIV>>like a mid-size in the way it takes
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>tar-strips) and I can carry three
<DIV></DIV>>people easy. This is on a 16V too by the
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>way. Sits nice and low and is very good
<DIV></DIV>>at AutoX. Easy on the pocket book
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>too. Anyways, hope the offset idea
<DIV></DIV>>helps....
