benzed350 Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Finally got my wheels. They are amazing. Only problem being, I went with the et22 and the 3mm spacers (according to the varrstoen posts on here should clear) it doesn't clear. Quite annoying. The rear ones look amazing on there though, shame the fronts don't look so good in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350 Russ Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Wow, those fronts are sticking pretty far out thats what i thought? are they legal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzed350 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 They sent me 20mm bolt on spacers, they cleared the brembos but went too far out the arch. I'm going to run the fronts on 10 mm spacers. Should be just flush, same as the back. I know it's filthy ain't it. Every time i go to clean it it rains at the moment. I'm not proud.

JetSet Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Wow, those fronts are sticking pretty far out thats what i thought? are they legal? That's a good question. From what I can gather, you're O.K provided the tread doesn't come out beyond the widest part of the wheel arch and the rim doesn't come out more than 30mm's, but this does seem to be a grey area Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzed350 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 I think whatever the law is with the 20mm spacers it wasn't legal. ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I think whatever the law is with the 20mm spacers it wasn't legal. ...... Didn't realize they stuck out that much . Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 For what it's worth I found the actual regulations. Unfortunately they are completely beyond comprehension Pete 1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 1.1. The motor vehicle must be provided with wheel guards (parts of the bodywork, mudguards, etc.). 1.2. The wheel guards must be so designed as to protect other road users, as far as possible, against thrown-up stones, mud, ice, snow and water and to reduce for those users the dangers due to contact with the moving wheels. 2. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS 2.1. The wheel guards must meet the following requirements when the vehicle is in running order (see section 2.6 of Annex I to Directive 70/156/EEC) and the wheels are in the dead ahead position: 2.1.1. In the part formed by radial planes at an angle of 30º to the front and 50º to the rear of the centre of the wheels (see figure 1), the overall width (q) of the wheel guards must be at least sufficient to cover the total tyre width ( taking into account the extremes of tyre/wheel combination as specified by the manufacturer and as indicated in section 5.2 of the certificate set out in Annex II. In the case of twin wheels, the total width over the two tyres (t) shall be taken into account. 2.1.1.1. For the purposes of determining the widths referred to in 2.1.1, the labelling (marking) and decorations, protective bands or ribs on tyre walls are not taken into account. 2.1.2. The rear of the wheel guards must not terminate above a horizontal plane 150 mm above the axis of rotation of the wheels (as measured at the wheel centres) and furthermore the intersection of the edge of the wheel guard with this plane (point A, figure 1) must lie outside the median longitudinal plane of the tyre, or in the case of twin wheels the median longitudinal plane of the outermost tyre. 2.1.3. The contour and location of the wheel guards shall be such that they are as close to the tyre as possible ; and in particular within the part formed by the radial planes referred to in 2.1.1, they shall satisfy the following requirements: 2.1.3.1. the projection - situated in the vertical plane of the tyre axis - of the depth (p) of the outer edge of the wheel guards, measured in the vertical longitudinal plane passing through the centre of the tyre, must be at least 30 mm. This depth (p) may be reduced progressively to zero at the radial planes specified in 2.1.1; 2.1.3.2. the distance © between the lower edges of the wheel guards and the axis passing through the centre of the wheels must not exceed 2r, "r" being the static radius of the tyre. 2.1.4. In the case of vehicles having adjustable suspension height, the abovementioned requirements must be met when the vehicle is in the normal running position specified by the vehicle manufacturer. 2.2. The wheel guards may consist of several components, provided no gaps exist between or within the individual parts when assembled. 2.3. The wheel guards must be firmly attached. However, they may be detachable either as a unit or in parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Lower it, bit of negative camber = hellaflush achieved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzed350 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Sadly the council where I live have eliminated the chance for me to lower my car, thanks to far too many ridiculous speed bumps. I only just get over them as it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chan267 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 wow, well done in getting them and Im sure they will look good once the car is washed. I have been told the same info about ET for the fronts but the rear looks so have you sorted out the problem at the fronts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
