so ET 42 say 15mm fronts is ET27 with a 9J wheel will more than likely rub
Rears with 15mm adapters should fit with a little stretch.

Why not find some in the correct PCD and a staggered set 8J fronts and 9J rears?
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

i have these thay are 19" a nice wheel fairly good ofset slight rubbing on wing liner nothing major still might bring out on spacers 5 mm on the front yet, but you need 5x100 pcd to fit straight on without adapters and these guys were good i got wheel bolts, caps and lockers and here within 3 days well impressed and dish looks lovely in the sun. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

By the time you buy adaptors @ around £120 you will be saving nothing really.
