Does anyone know what the factory distance is between the wheel mounting hub (Where the wheel bolts on) to the wheel arch for a disc brake car.

 

Trying to work out how much overhang a particular set of wheels will have past the wheel arch for determining arch size. (I know width and offset of rims).

 

Thanks

It depends on your suspension is set. Different ride heights move the wheel in and out. As does the neg camber and the caster setting.

 

your best bet is to see what the ET of your current wheels are and compare with the new ones.

Well I hadn't given that aspect much thought.

Would someone know what it was from the factory as standard (Rubber suspension and no hilos)....

No two were probably the same, but a near enough guestimate will give me something to work with.

Not aware of any such measurement given by the factory.  And it is different depending on which version it was.

 

like I said measure what you have now. See what your current and new wheel ETs are a d that will give you the info you need.
