     215/40/17-- ET 14,  and  for the back 235/40/17 --ET 40.( used tyre calculators on line front wheels would be 6mm  lower than back ,but still a few mm taller than the existing 15" wheels and tyres) Been all over the place sussing does and don'ts re ETs
 " 5 mm accepted ", "don't use spacers", "wrong ET= worn bearings" etc.
        l was thinking 3mm diff. on the front not much -do l really  need 3mm spacers?  Rear  again 3mm (-the other way)-with wider tyres -should still virtually fit to the edge of the car--------- am l being naive ?
        Any opinions ,suggestions? ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (marco mantara) http://marcosforum.org/reply/25082 Wed, 17 Feb 2010 21:14:32 PST http://marcosforum.org/reply/24999/t/Mantaray-and-Mantara-Wheel-sizes.html#reply-24999 feeds@kickapps.com (zeke kaval) http://marcosforum.org/reply/24999 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 22:59:26 PST http://marcosforum.org/reply/24955/t/Mantaray-and-Mantara-Wheel-sizes.html#reply-24955 feeds@kickapps.com (marco mantara) http://marcosforum.org/reply/24955 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 08:02:35 PST http://marcosforum.org/reply/24953/t/Mantaray-and-Mantara-Wheel-sizes.html#reply-24953

The Mantaray started with 15" rims too (I haven't any experience of using them) - but most had 17" rims fitted 

The PCD and the offset should be the same for both wheel diameters

Just rememebered that the rear tyres on my Mantaray  have a 235 x 45 profile - n.b. I needed a higher profile to raise the rear edge of the CATS on the exhaust enough to clear the sleeping policemen on the road up to my garage   ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (zeke kaval) http://marcosforum.org/reply/24949 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 08:44:52 PST http://marcosforum.org/reply/24947/t/Mantaray-and-Mantara-Wheel-sizes.html#reply-24947 feeds@kickapps.com (marco mantara) http://marcosforum.org/reply/24947 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 07:27:15 PST http://marcosforum.org/topic/4876/t/Mantaray-and-Mantara-Wheel-sizes.html Just had a query about wheel sizes for Mantarays and Mantaras and had to search for the thread so I'm posting it up here so's I can find it easier next time

There is a thread in the for sale section on the forum about the PCD and offsets for the wheels here

http://marcosforum.org/reply/14071#reply-14071

The front and rear offsets are different - If I remember rightly the front is Peugeot and the rear is Ford

N.B. There is more metal on the front inside wheel hub ( to clear the front calipers)

Ronnie Cowan gave me these PCD sizes

Mantara & Mantaray buyers need:- 108 x 4 (PCD) requiring two x 17 Et + two x Et37 (ET=offset)
or four x Et37 & a TUV 20mm kit!

So I think the ET 37s are Ford (rears) - which you need a 20mm spacer kit to be able to fit them on the front

The recommendation for tyre size is for... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (zeke kaval) http://marcosforum.org/topic/4876 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 23:36:03 PST
