Wheel Advice Help Needed Or Have I Been Cheated.

[Patvr6 0]

I bought some second hand Keskin KT1s in good condition rears are 5 x 100, ET 15, 16 x 9 and fit perfectly with loads of arch rubbing LOL. but i will be getting the arches done by archenemy on the 22nd of February.

Now my problem with the fronts, they say they are 5 x 100, ET 35, 16 x 7.5, and guess what they wont fit and dont clear the caliper. I am sure this is the right offset, but judging by the back of the wheel its a bit flush to be 35.

can anyone help, i have been told i have the wrong brake discs, calipers etc, i have swapped and changed and even bought the same discs twice and still no joy with the rims, the last thing i now have to do is purchase some spacers whihc i was trying to avoid.

Does anyone know the correct part numbers for the following.

Brake discs/pads for a VR6 M Reg 1994, AAA122672?

The Correct Offset?

And is it possible to stamp a wheel with a ET35 and cover up the original size?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Cabrio.

Well i have one thing right then i have 280mm disc. bt last time i tried a spacer i ended up with the result below which i was told was illegal. I was just assuming that because the rim was ET35 i would not need a spacer and it would be a straight fit. But i dont mind spacers at all as long as they dont look like this LOL

i would of thought the et35 would be ok on the front. but im with cabrio, pop in some 5mm spacers and that should sort things out.
