Yeah. That.

When constructed will be 11j et-8

If I need more then space

[RolledAndPulledG]

plus or minus a mm for rounding it off of course.

[RolledAndPulledG]

well it depends if theyre getting a bigger lip, or barrel. If its a 17x11 -8 but go with an inch larger barrel then it will go to 17x12 +4, but if he's widening it with a new lip then it will be a 17x12 -20.

[Jorge]

Wider lip moves offset more negative.

[Royal_T]

shoot I think if the 5" made it a 17x11-8 then the 12" has to be a 17x12 +17.. I might be wrong though.. Can some one speak on this.. lol

[Jorge]

I don't know, with 5 inch lips it was -8, so I presume you need to subtract another 25mm?, ET-32 maybe. Or is it half of that. Fuck knows, either way. It fits. Rear spacing isn't going to change, front spacing will by 1 inch, so rolled arches should give it tucking under neatly, or 20mm spacers may see it like this again

[Royal_T]

That looks perfect in my opinion.. What is the ET on that 12"?

[Jorge]

Pic whore, this isn't anything serious really, just proving to myself it works.

On the red car as I was down there today.

Centre bore is too small though, meaning I couldn't bolt them up fully but made it possible to see with camber.

Except then I only have 1 wheel and no valve!

I got more ill upload later maybe

That and the fact you won't be able to fit a tyre onto the it.

12" looks do-able, albeit with some (possibly lots) camber and a slight arch pull, plus if you go air, you can have the arch sat between the lip an tyre. Crazy poke ftw!

[Jorge]

Yeah

Think realistically it will be 11J with some spacer.

[Riskant]

That's the 12j ?

[DDM]

That looks about right to me
If you could make those barrels shine like crazy again, that'd be super sick!

[Jorge]

Tease, (on wrong car obviously)
