Hi All,

I started researching on this site looking for the correct offsets for some Team Dynamics 1.2's. However it has left me more confused than when I started... Just after some clarity from people that already have these wheels on a lowered car running R1R's or any semi's the best sizes to have so that the wheels don't rub..

It seem you have 3 common options on the rear but I am unsure which would be best to go for? I can see from previous posts some have gone for 8J et 30 but can anyone confirm if you can run 120 ride height with these without scuffing the outside of the arch and is it worth getting these over a 7.5? Can anyone tell me what the TMS sizes were as a comparison?

Rear wheels 8 x 17 ET30, 110 5 stud PCD and 65.1 Centre Bore.
Rear wheels 7.5 x 17 ET30, 110 5 stud PCD and 65.1 Centre Bore.
Rear wheels 7.5 x 17 ET35, 110 5 stud PCD and 65.1 Centre Bore.



The fronts seem easier, I will be running quite a lot of negative camber on the front so the larger offset should help stop rubbing on the inner arch.

Front wheels 7 x 16 ET20, 110 5 stud PCD and 65.1 Centre Bore.

Sorry so many questions could just do with some clarity as I don't want any tire rubbing!!

Seems most of the Type116 GB rears were 7.5J ET35

You want to really have the rear 10mm higher than the front so i dont know if 110mm on the front might be a little low.

First off the 7 x 16 ET20 fronts will be fine, I'm running a fair bit lower than your talking about and never get any rubbing with 205 x 45 16 R1R's or 195 x 50 16 R888's. Not had any experience of 8J rears, I run 7.5 x 17 ET30. With a decent amount of -ve camber ET35's will rub the inner arch, ET30 are mainly fine for me except the n/s kisses the inner arch but only on track and because I have unusual amount toe in.

Perfect thanks to everyone who answered... - VXT'ed that was just the answer I was looking for!!
