Got the tyres on the new van Ronals.

However 2 of the rims are ET38 and the other 2 ET42

I know the ET38's will stick out 4mm more than the 42's

Am I right in saying we should put the 38's on the back and the 42's on the front?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Sorry to sound stupid, Mini or the Metro?

If its the mini is stick the one with the more neg offset on the rear to bring them out something like level with the front, as for the metro, i aint got a clue *tongue*

I think a fair few people spacer out rear wheels when fitting certain arches, so itd sorta be the same effect.

Dont suppose it makes much odds if theyre the same width, to yourselves, id just stick the wider ones on the back i guess.

I'd stick 4mm spacers on the 38s.
