Will these fit?

[Ashbandicoot]

I'm after a set of type 3 ac schnitzer alloys

On standard suspension setup, will these fit or do I need spacers?

Cheers

They will fit if they are the correct fitment but usually need spacers to fill the arches.

Do you know the offset of the type 3 ACS alloys?

 

[Ashbandicoot]

I think they are 8.5J x 17“ ET 43 that means nothing to me

8,5j is the with in inches of the rim (wide body zed have 7,5j at the front and 8,5j at the rear)
17" in the diameter of the rims (most know that)
Et 43 is the offset. The center off the rim is 43mm more to the inside of the wheelhub. (Standard on zeds is 41mm)
So these dimensions shouldn't be a problem.

If you put your existing and new sizes into this calculator it will show how they will fit and if you will need spacers to bring the edge of the wheel out to the wing. My type II are 35 offset.

Okay tried that link so compared with the style 18s I got this; front



Rear;



So will I need 20mm spacers to compensate for the additional poke?

To be sure before purchasing spacers, if you can source one of the alloys with a tyre on it, put it on the back and check, then put it on the front and check, and as I posted on DaveJau1's recent thread 'Wheel Spacers:

Offer a piece of wood vertical from edge of wheel arch to ground (back and front checks), then measure horizontal gap between middle of tyre wall and inner edge of wood. This will give approximate size of spacer required. I guess it will 20 mm as you quoted above.

On you calculator you have put the rear offset at 15 for the new wheels is this correct? if so these wheels came from an M car and won't fit as the M cars have a narrow rear end to cope with the deep dish wheels (very low offset.) and spacers will make it worse. If all 4 wheels are the same offset ET 43 the outside of the wheel will be 12.5mm 1/2" wider than now this is because the wheel is 1" wider 7.5v8.5.


Rear;

How did you get these to fit @SviRu

 

[SviRu]

they will fit perfectly without any spacers... but if you want them to look cool you should add spacers to the rear end - (wide body)
I have 8.5 on the rear with et 38 and 23mm spacers... front 8.5 without sapcers.

What type are your ACS alloys? I was looking at type 3 - which I think may not fit with rear et15

Ash

Car is looking great by the way

type3 Use the above calculator - it'll tell you the truth!. I think you will be fine!
