Guys,

need some info on some wheels I may be looking to get, they are deep dish but the seller could not find any info on the offset so he meassured one of them and stated the following;

'the ET as I understand it, is offset of the mountface from the midline of the wheel, its -13mm so if you put a flat edge across your wheel hub face, you will have 114mm of wheel sticking outwards from that point and 89mm of the wheel/tire protruding inwards.'

Therefore, as I am no wheel expert and thus would like to know if a member can confirm that these are suitable for a W202 or would be with modifications? If so what tyres would be required?

Cheers!
 
Forgot to ask, using the above details regarding the stated offset measurements, what would the actual ET be?? Cheers
 
Hi, what is the max range a w202 can take in either direction of the ET37 as I believe the wheels Im looking at are for 107sl wide so not sure if a 107SL wheel will Gita W202??
 
Update, I believe the ET is 11, is the too wide or can it still be done but with add-on's etc? Cheers

W202:

Front alloy wheels: 18x8" ET31

Rear alloy wheels: 18x9" ET35

front tyres: 225/40/ R18

Rear tyres: 255/35/ R18

i'm going to put 18 x 8j ET31 on my c124 soon with a 225/40 tyre. you shouldnt have an issue with the above recomendations.

Thanks, but what I really want to know is that will an ET11 wheel fit albeit sticking out abit and will it allow for the steering wheel to turn etc. and generally be safe???
 
On a seperate note I have a set of 15" Carat Duchatelet alloy wheels, any idea how much its worth?
