not sure on the offset i'd have to ask my bro.....

but what i do know is that only use proper quality spacers........ ballanced ones with proper evely drilled bolt holes not cheap universal ones..... which will throw the ballancing out and cause major vibratons! and also they wont sit nice on the hub this adds the the problem...... runout etc etc......

use proper makes like eibach.......

cheap and nasty one

I know that H&R do adaptors from a 4 stud to a 5 stud not not the other way around, speak to C&R Enterprises, they are pretty good with advice.
Eibach spacers are the best as previous post suggests, I had universal ones on which made my wheel fall off + broke my caliper at the same time. Very dangerous.

if your wheels are et36, then a spacer can add upto 15-20mm on top of the offset and therefore pushing them out as far as et16!!

if they are 15's then you might get away with it on 195/45 rubber and rolling the rear arches
