Just had Arch Enemy down to roll my arches in preparation for my new wheels. Gotta give credit to the guy, it was absolutely HACKING it down with rain and he had to put up a marquee. In the middle of the rolling his halogen packed up, so he had to use my Mrs desk side lamp! My neighbours kept coming and going forcing him to move his stuff around. But he didn't grumble!

More importantly though, the roll went perfectly with no surprises. Gained just over 20mm iirc. The only thing that shocked me was when he took off my wheels and noticed that they were ET43 when I always thought that they were ET30!

Recalculating everything, it looks like it might be a squeeze fitting the 9J/ET37's in the back, but hopefully still possible.

Yeah it was Phil...

But reading around the Rays (57F Pro's) should fit as some people in the US have done the same fitments. Possibly even with 10mm spacers. But then again, they run super stiff setups with no suspension travel.

We shall see...

Lol yeh some confusion. The new wheels are Rays 57F Pro's with ET37 offsets. 9J in the back, 8J in the front.


In the rear the wheel its self will poke out 19mm more than my old wheels. My old wheels JUST went under the arches, so considering that I've just gained 20mm space by rolling the arches, they should theoretically JUST fit.

Now I'm confused!

I said ET37 - as in offset of 37

But, I do have Rays TE37 knockoffs currently on the car.
