Limit on standard fenders with reasonable camber is 17x8.5 ET30 17x9 ET35 which the grids are available in.

This is mine with proper tyres no stretch with the above sizes, 235/40 fronts and 245/40 rears.

I took a picture of tommy's car with the grid drifts on and you can see how much he had to butcher his rear arches to make it fit, will post it up later

looking at the picture above of Rob's car there is no way my rears can be et36 9j if yours fitted rob, min poke out the arch about an inch with 2.2 deg of camber and should be 1mm further in then yours, if i had a 245 tyre on mine about an inch of tread would be hanging out of the arch and it would rub like mad.

how can i measure the wheel to check/confirm my ET?

Centre of the wheel width to the hubface basically, bit of a fiddle to measure it precise though

I was going to say Rob, i'd be very surprised if they were ET36 unless they have been skimmed.

That's with rolled arches, I can take a picture of my arches. If you take your time doing it they'll still look OEM
