Yo,


Thread title says it all, the stock GTUs/Turbo wheels are +40, the aftermarket wheels are +33 or +42.

Common sense says +42, but I want to make sure it's the right choice.

I will be staying with the stock size of 205/55-16.

Thanks in advance!

I just tried a 17x7 +42 on for size - rubbed slightly with 215/40 17's.

What width wheel are you getting? 16x7 I assume. If you go with a +33 that means the rim will stick out 7mm further than a stock turbo wheel.

 

Yo,


I will be sticking with 16 x 7, 205/55-16. I'm going for lightweight, I'm good for grip.

Thanks for your help!

Smaller number = further out. Got it! *grin*

i thinik you are better off with +32 you may need to roll the fenders though if you lower the car.

The lower the number (ie +32) the farther away the rim will be from the shock/spring and the farther it will stick out.

The greater the number (ie +42) the closer the rim is to the shock the more the wheel will be tucked into wheel well.
