What offset are they.

3mm should do it.

205/40/17's tyres will be needed to keep gearing etc spot on.

They are et 48 which is abit wrong ino, and the tyres are 215/45s. Mint wheels tho and cheap i think :-)

Et48 is or sounds like Vauxhall fit, are they 100% 5x100 stud fitment.

Yeah definatly ive got rear 2 on, just need spacers for fronts

You would be better running 10mm spacers all round, leaving you with a offset of 38, tyres are the wrong size as well.

Spacers will move it away from the caliper though

What brakes are you running? et48 with 10mm spacers will give you et38 which should be miles away from the calipers
