Thanks to Chris Deering for letting me take some measurements off his Hawk front 5 stud hubs and his coffin spokes, the hub dims match with my car but interestingly the ET marked on the inside of one of the spokes says ET -1.5, it's a bit difficult to confirm this with the tyre fitted but from the measurements taken they did seem to have an ET -1.5.

This seems to match with my findings so I think I'll use an ET -1.5 for the 8" PAG's.

Just need to sort out the ET for 10" Rears now.

My current setup is:-

Image split rims

Front 8x15 ET -14mm
Rear 12x15 ET -26mm with 9mm spacers so -35mm

There seems to be some confusion regarding the Hawk Coffin Spokes ET measurements, but what I would say is that if a possitive ET was used on the front the wheel rim would run very close the top ball joint, with an ET 0 the clearance on my car using 4 stud hubs and Thema Turbo disks would only be 2-3mm to the ball joint cover and approx 6mm to the joint.

I don't know if the 5 stud conversion has a different hub face position to my set up, could someone with the coffins on measure the distance between the wheel rim and the top ball joint on a Hawk to confirm my findings.
