ET 0 means that if you view from the front (or back) the centerline at tyre width will line up with the hub face.
ET greater than 0 (positive), the centre of the tyre width will move inwards relative to the hub face. So with ET15, assuming you have the same tyre, you should get 15mm more clearance (horizontal distance) from the wheel arch compared to ET0. The inner arch / the tub.. I think there is quite some clearance there. The vertical clearance between tyre and tub, that is mostly affected by tyre size... but can always fit thicker bump stops if the spring is being compressed fully when loaded and articulated. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing 2012 90 CSW, 2.2TDCI, Santorini Black |

Sorry, I think it was obvious information.
Real life experience,, on a 90 however, with softer springs such that on full articulation, the wheels with load get compressed almost touching the standard bump stops. +2 shock absorbers, so the wheel with no load droops 2 inches more (effectively making the wheel on the opposite side (with load) to get closer to the tub / wheel arch. Standard boost alloys (ET33) but with 30mm spacers, so that would become same as an ET3. 285/75 tyres, and they just scrape the wheel arch at full articulation. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing 2012 90 CSW, 2.2TDCI, Santorini Black |
