17inch alloys queries

channy86 · 24-11-2004, 22:54

hi i've just bought 17x7 audi rs6 alloys and i was wondering if anyone would know if i would need spacers. If anyone knows anything, it would be great help, cheers!

devonutopia · 24-11-2004, 23:05

for 7s I don't believe so... But mine have spacers anyway, just because I'm a tart and like to see the wheels sticking out an extra little bit.

**TaviaRS** · 24-11-2004, 23:06

What offset are they?

ET38? Possibly
ET35? Not needed
ET32? Not needed

IIRC

devonutopia · 24-11-2004, 23:12

sounds about right Jon - but the previous owner of my ET35s put them on anyway - no harm in widening the wheelbase a little bit I guess?

Owner probably had them fitted as soon as he knew you were buying the furby

Just make sure your tyre tread does not pretrude from the arches

devonutopia · 25-11-2004, 10:46

Mine protrude a little bit, but mainly toward the front of the arch... Wish I had a piccie now.

. Ok, ignore the cat, and you sort of get the picture with how it would look (this is my old car though)

Thought it was gonna "scent" them for a minute, so was prepping a hefty boot up the *** when I took the shot.

Oi I have 2 cats (That haven't been interfered with)

Must say that is an unusal coloured cat, grey !

devonutopia · 25-11-2004, 12:26

She's sooooo cute - one thing I miss now I've moved away from home. She's a pedigree british blue - first cat my Dad has ever paid money for.

What is it about cats appearing whenever you go to take piccies of wheels?

Tavia4x4 · 25-11-2004, 12:50

Although I especially like this one...

When I was cleaning my wheels the bloody cat pi**ed up against the wheel I had just done!!! on 3 different wheels!

But I suppose it just thought it was helping!!

Has any one else had this cat probelm?
