Default WHEELS !!!

Please if anyone can advise ?? --- I have a 15 f type r with tornado black wheels and 15 mm spacers with vap lowering springs -- think the offset is 55 front and 38 rear ? --- 9 inch front and 10 1/2 rears ---- want to get Ferrara fr1 wheels in same wheel width the offset is 35 front and 38 rear ---- does this mean that if I use no spacer on the front wheel it will stick out 5 mm more than my stock toranado wheel with spacer and if I use the 15 mm spacer on the rear it wii be the same as stock tornado with spacer ( what wheel shop said )
Has anyone used this ser up ??? Any help GREATLY APPRECIATED !! ----- lastly what are the black tornados with caps worth ? --- anyone interested ?

Give Branden (SigsJag) a few minutes and I'm sure he'll get you squared away. He's a dealer for Ferrada.

Your front tornados have a 52mm offset. The Ferraras will stick out the same as if you had 17mm spacers on the Tornados. I think you are good to go.

Thanks -- but from what my research has led me to believe the stock front wheels are 55 mm offset ? ---- if that is correct they will stick out 5 mm farther than my tornados with the 15 mm spacers ---- and both the toranado and the Ferrada are 38 mm offset so if I can use the 15 cm spacer with the Ferrada they should be exactly the same ? Thx for all the help

Do the Ferrada's not come in a proper offset for the rear?

Ferrada's indeed are offered in the proper offset for the F Type

Using a 15mm spacer on a +38 offset would equate to a +23 offset pushing the wheel FURTHUR out of the fender.

Use this calculator to better understand how it works:

Yes -- but the stock rear 10.5 inch tornado has +38 offset and I'm running a 15 mm spacer lowered on vap springs on it and it's not pushed out further than the fender and lots of jags are running 17 mm ??

Sorry, your question was confusing. So the answer is yes, you can run the 15mm spacer on the rear with the 10.5" +38 wheel, making it a +23 setup. But I believe they offer a correct wheel for the rear that won't require the spacer. Branden would know!
