Scratching my head a bit. will these wheels clear my brakes?
pretty sure it will mess up the speedo reading, you just cant get a low enough profile to match the correct radius, not saying it cant be done though, will look way too big imo. dont know on the conzult part of things sorry.

now basically my current setup is 8.5 et12 so if i run a 9.5 et20 its only an extra 5mm outside but be closer to the inside 21mm.

lol its a bit confusing... heres an offset calculator: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp try it out. when the wheel is larger by one inch it goes out each end by 13cm coz there is 2.6cm in a inch. so for example if i replace my 8.5inch et20 rim to a 9.5 et20 it will stick out of the arch a further 13mm and be closer to the inside strut a further 13mm. now if i change the new 9.5 wheels offset to say et30 it will stick out only an extra 3mm but be 23mm closer to the inside. if the 9.5j wheel was et10 it would be the opposite to the above it will stick out 23mm more and only be 3mm closer to the inside.

bang bang your dead..... im running a 8.5j et12 at the mo with a slight stretch tyre and i have about 1cm of space from the arch the et20 9.5 will push the wheel out only an extra 5mm and with a 255 tyre it will be slightly stretched also. It will fit ;) i have rolled arches which are slightly flared now too. i like to take risks anyway and be different. btw there are guys in the US running 10j fronts with 295

Hammerite On Brake Calipers?
ive used hammerite on brakes and plenum, it loves the heat, just makes it stronger, oh and its petrol resistant which is very good.

well i just learnt something new today, speaking to the ultralites people they told me every wheel has an x factor measurent which basically means how far away the hub face is from the centre of the spoke. the 9.5j et20 has an x factor of 58mm which is massive so i can use this to calculate the clearance from the caliper to the hub face or something like that. :D its looking promising.

hi lymon, yes i did notice your brake fitting posts yesterday. what offset wheel did you buy for the front and width? im after the 9.5 +20 which is suppose to be quite rare now but more aggresive. I also noticed the ultralites you have are different :P i checked ya rides section, you have the 5 spoke design am i right? I have fitted 996 porsche calipers on 328mm discs which are a bit fat so im worried.

hmmmm, i did ring them today but forgot to ask... im not sure if id be able to make any sense of the dimensions tho, its all a bit daunting. the spokes are never straight they always curve in or out, Well i might aswell try :nelson:
