R32North Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 35-42 is also a quoted figure, as is 32-38mm..... but I'm inclined to go for 35-38mm. The ET (offset) on the R32 alloys is 38mm. But ET can be a funny thing depending on the width of the alloy. What size alloys are we talking here ?
