Whats the standard offset of the wheels.

Worth remembing that adaptors will be at least 15 to 20mm thick so you need to subtract that from you offset.

Well if you had bothered to do a SEARCH you will have found loads of very good advice that would tell you that adaptors are not a good idea!

just cos someone doesn't give you the answer you want doesn't mean they're being obtuse  :rolleyes:

cheap adapters are an awful idea, they're the one thing connecting your wheels to the floor and rest of the car, if they aren't machined properly you'll get awful wheel wobble, if they fail you'll crash and die in a horrible mess*

*this might not be strictly true but ou'll have a badly damaged car and sit on the hard shoulder thinking "I wish I'd bought some quality adapters, or wheels that actually fitted and listened to the advice I got"

They seperate the direct connection between wheel and hub.
