m0l0t0v Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 So, I've seen some wheels I'm interested in that would think would look bomber on my mb. Currently running 14" steelies with profesionally (read, 5 min job) matt blacked hub caps. Which look alright considering. But, I've added mg zs shocks and lowering springs and want to minimize that arch gap and run some bigger wheels. There's no mention of the ET so I'm diverting to the expertise of you guys. I understand that 7.5j and 9j are width of the wheels. Am I right in thinking that one set are thinner than the other, so thinner on the front, thicker on the right? Or am I completely wrong? It's a 3-4 hour drive there and back to get them so would rather not waste my time... So size of the the wheels on the add are 16" 4x100 7.5j and 9j...

dogg1210 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Would think 9inch wide at rear would need alot of arch work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0l0t0v Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 He hasn't stated the et. I've just sent him a message though. What is the et of yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0l0t0v Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 They're Borbet Type A rims by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0l0t0v Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 the et is 15 and 20... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 i'm guessing 15 is the front and 20 is the rear? mine is 25 front and 15 at the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0l0t0v Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 He didn't specify... I might just see if I can do a detour tomorrow and see how much work they'd need... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
