What wheels. What size.

[Smithy]

Looking for some help.

What wheels look good on Escos. Please post some pictures of yours.

Whats size. Do 19” fit ok ?? And what ET do they need to be.

Thanks

18in best et15 et10 to push wheel out without spacers

18in best et15 et10 to push wheel out with spacers

So the lower number ET the further the wheel sticks out.

yes but depend on the width as you got 8in,8.5,9in

[Smithy]

ok. So is it better to go as wide as poss. 9in with a ET15 ?

I would go et10 as I don't think et15 really fill the arches enough. As for style it's all dependent on taste and colour of the car.

[Dan Le Moignan]

I have just gone from et15 to et0 as et15 sits way to far in on 8" with 225 tyres

Thanks Dave. So ET 10 up to 9” wide wheel.

Yes agree regarding taste etc. Spent ages searching for picture of different wheels on car etc.

A big difference between ET15 to ET10. Any pics of how it is now at ET10. Also what does the number represent. As lower the number the further the wheel stick out ?

[Dan Le Moignan]

Lower the number the further out the wheel sits.
you could probably get away with et -5(minus) on an 8" rim depending on tyre.
iam at et 0 using 15mm hubcentric spacers on et15 wheels

[Dan Le Moignan]

Before on et 15, you can see here how far in the front sits, the rear is equally as bad

[georgie1]

But like i said above it all depends on how wide you go

excellent. Great help. Thank you.

It all depends on suspension, wheel width and tyre size.
But generally these have been suitable "guidelines"
8" width = ET15
8,5 width = ET18
9 width = ET20

Yes they can be pushed further out with lower offset, but it does all depend on more than the wheel.
I had 255/35-18 tyres on 9x18" ET20 wheel, not much room left to push much further out then.
But as Dan said above, 8x18" ET15 with 225/40-18 tyres can be pushed out a fair bit
With 4x108 PCD you havent got a great selection of wheels unless you go custom, costing a fair bit, but then the wheel manufacturer will normally ask for all sorts of measurements to ensure they fit.

Again. Great info. Thank you.
