While I'm here.. If my old alloys had an offset of 32 and these 35s are catching would a 3mm suffice?
thanks alot :smiley: hopefully I can have this sorted by tomorrow morning

Yes and the bolts will be fine.

Again they're rs4 reps. I couldn't find another pair with an offset of 32 so had to go for 35s

FFS  :cry: Bought the stupid lil 3mm spacers from halfords and they dont fit properly. Think i've discovered first hand why they're called Halfrauds. I'm either going to need 6mm and above spacers or just change the brakes back to standard (They need doing anyway)

Why do you need to change the brakes, I ran et35 with no issues.
