Post by: les.tansey on 04 January 2011, 03:02: I might be wrong but I think that would make your cars wheels overall offset et23 which would mean your wheels would stick out quite far..

I think this is right, hope it helps,

Cheers, Les.

It depends on how low you are but et23 should be ok as long as your not stupidly low. As Les said the wheel will be closer to the arch, but 7J isn't very wide so should still give you clearance, what width tyres you running?

I stand corrected, FK do make them.

ET23 is going to be mega tight running it that low, arch mods will be needed unless you find wheels that are a better offset.

Why do you want to run 5stud.

Only other option is to convert to 5stud.

Post by: jonnypolish on 04 January 2011, 11:55: Arch work needed at 120mm :afro: But thats more to turn the wheel without scurbbage as opposed to tucking into the arch!
Although a bit of rolling up will be needed to tuckthem neatly!
I'm sure you would get away with 195/45 or 195/40 tyres though :)
If the correct arch work is done!
