No I didn't because like I already said, I'm not sure that the 1st gen and 2nd gen have the same offsets. I THINK they are close. I didn't want to post my offset, and then have you assume it was the right one possibly order wheels that don't fit your application.


For the tire size you seem to be set on (235/45), Luke already answered your question:

ET is just a technical term for offset (positive). So it looks like you will need a wheel with +30mm offset to fit the 235/45 tires you want to put on your laser.

Haha I'm stupid.... :laugh:
I've read the that particular section in vfaq before TWICE and completely forgot about it!

Here's the link: http://vfaq.com/mods/macross/offsetFAQ.html

...and STILL no one knows for sure, that's why I'm trying to find someone who actually has such setup on 1g.
