Errrrrmm - Matt - are you changing the wheel hubs/brakes? You've got 5 stud 98mm PCD!

My original shell/wheels I have stick out just a little bit. The fronts are fine, but would prefer to look kind of proper and have all wheels the same.
But I do like the wheel sticking out of the arches look.
I think I might still have the same problem with the ET20, since the manual specifies an 8" zero offset on the rear!
I do have the extended rear arches, but was trying to avoid doing any major bodywork changes until after passing IVA, as I am still unsure if I am going to go that direction.
If I can get at least a 9" underneath the rear, which I think should be possible then I will not bother.
My bad - thought this was Matt's car! Soz!
watch out for IVA
ET20 are 20mm inset from Zero - Have you measured up to know what front space you can live with?
9" on a Stradale Alfa I - Probably need ET50 !

Sorry I was getting ET20 confused with negative, or it was moving the wheel out of the arch.
So if an 8" wheel with a ET20 fits with 5m to spare, then technically a 9" with an et of 50 should/might!
Thanks for those IVA pages. I knew about the 2nd one, the Annex I had not read that before.
My assumption is that I will fail the first attempts, get the list of failure points and then fix and re-test. With the hope that the problems can be resolved easy enough
Best just measure the distance hub face to arch and do the Math - If staying with Stradale arches you will likely be lumbered with FWD offset looking wheels.

The Corse I Alfa chassis I know of which have Stradale bodywork
Each is fitted with Mercedes wheels at the rear

How does your front wheel sit when fitted to the rear of the car?Originally Posted by m8kwr

That is an 8 x 16" with an offset off approx 30mm
