Wheel sizing.

[Craig Giblett]

Hello..

Seeking some technical advise.

Will a 17" 8.5j et43 wheel fit my 2002 2.2 sport or what will I need to make them fit?

My car is lowered approx -35mm too.

Conscious that my car runs a staggered set up 8.5j rear 7.5j front as standard...

Thanks,
Craig

What car you got Craig? Your profile pic looks like an M, but you've got Sport in the description... Need to confirm as the offsets are very low on the rear of the ///M's

...and now you've replied I can see you put that in the original post! Sorry for being dim...

http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator is a really useful tool for working out the differences between what you have, and what you want.

Not sure how much of an effect the -35mm lowering will be, perhaps @Antm72 can comment as that's how low is his...

Mine is on Apex springs so the same as yours the offset front is 38 so your 43's will be 5mm more inboard than mine but on mine i have approx 19mm to strut body so you should have no issues fitting them.
