It says in the spec they correct ET 52 to ET37,& that its perfect for a puma. I tried ET37 wheels, they squealed & under steered until I spacer them, back to original ET34.I take it you are looking at these in order to correct wheels that aren't the correct offset, 'cos if used on ET34's you'd be looking at ET19's as a result, which apart from any thing else would be debatable if the wheels would foul the wheel arches on compression. FRP's are ET28 I believe(sure I'll be corrected if not) & they need those mental flared arches to cover them.

Why do you need them?
Seems expensive just to upset the handling and blunt the turn-in.

And it would upset the handling. I used a 15mm spacer with ET35's, and it was pretty awful.

t78, theres more then just a low offset wheel that widens an frp track. If u slapped an et28 wheel on a std puma with frp archs it wouldnt fill them. They got extended wishbones etc. I know u know this i just dont think u thought when u made that reply lol

I asked about it because i was having a dense boy racer moment thinking it would make the wheels a little wider, and didnt consider the negative side effects.
On the FRP do they use lengthened bottom arms, track rod ends anti roll bars... ETC, or did they space the wheels? or some variation of the 2?

I fitted a set of these to correct the ET48 wheels that came with my car to a much nicer ET33, they did the job and improved the handling no end.
