Change off wheel and ets and that
« on: January 14, 2014, 03:34:41 pm »
At the minute I've got some 3sdm's 8.5 front et 42 rear 9.5 et40 with 215/35 front and 225/40 rear. I've bought some bbs ch's for cheap 8 front and 9 rear. Et 42 all around. Gonna put 205/35 front and 215/40 rear. But to get the same stance as the 3sdms what spacers would I need.

No, you will need hubcentric spacers (to avoid wheel wobble you get with standard flat faced spacers) and bolts which are 6mm longer.. so you'd need to buy 33-35mm wheel bolts and hubcentric spacers.
While the edge of the wheel will sit the same you'll never the same look with a 9 on the back instead of a 9.5
