Vossen 10.5x21 ET 25!?

[boomerang]

Need some advice.
Someone offers a set of Vossen 21 inch rims.
They came from a Ghibli SQ4.
But when i asked about the ET values, “a big red sign popped up”.
Factory rims have a 45 spec, The Vossens have ET20
That means 25 millimeter Closer to the fender edge.
And more important, the front wheels differ 21mm from the factory spec.
That must have had impact on geometry and steering.
Does someone have experiences with this?

Vossen or Ispiri (forged) is the only way forward if one is aftermarket wheels.

From personal experience i wouldn't go lower than 35 height on the tyres.

Thanks, but the seller claims the Vossen wheels have Tuv papers and are intended for the Ghibli, but have that way to low ET value.
If you select them now, 35 ET is the lowest available value for a Ghibli.
I decided not to buy these ET 20 Vossens btw.

Plenty of people running 25mm spacers , im sure they would look ace and be fine.
Id be more interested in the weight of them vs OEM.
