I'm trying to find some wheels for 2 months now and finally found a set that i like.
(the previous ones i ordered weren't available anymore frown )
But does anyone know the distance between de hub and the front wing & the hub and the rear wing
I'm switching from 18x8.5" to 18x8" for the front and 18x9" for the rears.
I was told ideally you should go with ET40 all round in that case.
But the fronts only come in ET35 or ET45. And i want to be certain before i spend a s**tload on forged wheels.

I found this calculator https://jrowny.com/page/offset-calculator/
but i need the distances...

My very primitive measuring gave me 95mm on the front and 93mm at the back.
But just wanted to double check.
But if those 8.25" don't rub then mine wont rub either
Thanks jhonno.

SP12's run very similar offsets to mine @8" wide..

I have not had a single rub with mine, and I have a wider tyre than you will have.

Enkei PF07's
They look a bit like spiders. I hope they look alright.
But they're a lot stronger and a lot lighter (about 4kg per wheel)

I like them a lot!
They indeed look like spiders.
And they're not expensive either

There nice as well.
Much better looking then the SP12's IMHO.
Don't like the lip on the SP12's

They suit your car very well smile
