So, for your 6" wide rims you should have closer to a ET30... ET45 will require spacers. Try mounting one to the front end, and you'll see the problem. You won't be able to get the rim flush to the hub because the spokes of the rim will hit your brake caliper first, and/or the tire will hit the strut tube. Either way, you'll need spacers.
