looking for shots of 10 inch wide with ET 45 wheels on a NB - close ups of fenders if possible


pics for views

 

a 10ET45 sticks out 20mm further than the 10ET65

the 10ET65 fits like a glove w/ either a 275/35 or 265/35 tire at any ride height but needs minor lip work on the drivers side w/ 285/30 at really low ride heights and e extremely close to the chassis on the passenger side

 

Thanks Bill! I have been trying to make a set of wheels work with that ET and have asked around for opinions.... its just too close to everything for me to justify.

Appreciate the input!
/end thread.

 

I run 9.5 x 19 work vsxx - you’ll need to arch roll and a bit of camber . You’ll be fine.
it’ll be tight - but I think ok.

 

not even close to working
stock 10 ET65 has a wheel front space of 2.94"(74.7mm) which is fine w/a 265 or 275 tire but need a lip massage w/ 285

9.5 x19 besides entailing an overly tall tire has a wheel front space of 3.48"(88mm this sticks out .5" more, the tires that fit that rim(poorly because of the narrow wheel) are the same 265, 275 or 285 but all are 1 or so taller, this kills torque available for acceleration.

 

i think the offset killed it @GilesHanna - what ET are you running?

 

Paging @dantonio . He originally ran 11" wide ET 34.5 on a NB with a lot of negative camber (and rubbing). He swapped lips and changed overall rear width to 10.25" and ET 44 along with less camber (shown below).

Based on wheel offset calculations, you'd have 4MM less poke with 10" ET45.


Full thread for reference (one of your "ghosts" asked some questions there too a few years ago). The pics w/ silver centers are the original setup. The pics with black centers are the ones close to your inquiry, though still running some decent camber.

 

wheel fit for an S or tt is not the same as for a n/b 993

 

That's a NB (Carrera 4) wearing Aerokit Sideskirts + Turbo front bumper + Turbo S front splitter.

 

I definitely can fit them - the question is how close is it? I chose not to go this route because its just TOO close

 

It's a NB, Bill.

 

how do you know the wheels in question are 10ET45? some of the info I see above just doesn't make sense

this is 10ET65, 10ET45 sticks out 20mm further and is the usual w/b fitment




here you can see how close it is in the inside, again 10ET65 w/ 275/35 x18 tires

 

bill above pics are ET 65.... sorry for the confusion

 

That makes more sense

 

9.5 x 19 et 44 arches rolled not pulled - granted I run a 255/30/19 I’ll fit a 5mm spacer soon.
