Supercharging, like turbo charging is a method of achieving forced induction, which is essentially blowing air into your inlet manifold (this is why superchargers are often called “blowers”) instead of letting the pistons suck air into the inlet manifold – this is referred to as being “na… text/html 2024-02-15T22:09:04+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://exocet.uk/doku.php/wiki:syntax?rev=1708034944&do=diff Formatting Syntax DokuWiki supports some simple markup language, which tries to make the datafiles to be as readable as possible.

The off-set of the wheels is also known as ET, basically you are looking for around 10-0mm offset. So for example if you have a set of 15” wheels that have ET 30 stamped on them you will need 30mm spacers to achieve 0 or 20mm spacers to get to 10mm offset. Without the correct spacers the car will have a narrow track and will not handle as well or look as good. Nor will the wing stays fit.
