Monza 18's Offset please....

....

I'm not sure if it's ET50 or ET51 or, indeed, something else.

Can anyone confirm please?

Thx :drinking:

Cheers, buddies! :drinking: :smiley: :drinking:

This forum is just the best, innit! :notworthy:

Now to call AP about their brakes clearances before tracking down some OZ LeggyRita's.

Trust me, if your Monzas go over them without a spacer, a lower offset OZ will have no problems at all.  :happy2:

Looking at the pic below I'm sure you are right - The LeggyRita's look as if they have been well designed to fit most brake applications. AP have just given me a profile template as well.

What I want to avoid is altering my suspension setup which is real sweet and I don't want no arch rubbing or spacers.

What ET are the new wheels? You'll be going up from a 7.5 - 8 inch rim too, so they're going to stick out a little more, not so much as to just need the screw mod though I'd have thought.

The offside rear is a rub point too, as for some reason it sticks out further than the nearside.

Screw mods already done all round and also 'tucking' (finger shoving!).

The Leggy's will take 225/40/18 tyres so doesn't that mean I can transfer my F1 225/40R18 Assyms?

I'm finding that the F1 Assyms are very good in both the wet and dry and so they'll be sensible for The Ring in a few weeks.

Am trying to get some LeggyRita's on in time.

Superb road tyre RR, but I've had problems with mine on the track in very warm weather - the blocks move around a fair bit and give vibration, grip is still superb, but it's a little offputtting.

That said, I don't think you'll be pushing that hard, so it won't cause you a problem.

Your point about the F1 Assyms in very warm weather is noted :happy2:. I don't think it'll be so warm on The Ring in early October! Also, I had them for both dry and wet laps at The Ring in June.

You're right too that I won't be driving on the limit - Enjoying a spirited drive but being sensible and taking notice of my car's feedback.
