Are they genuine if not then they are not worth the hassle, the fitment will be tight by the time you include adaptors

id try for 10 or 15mm adaptors if your going to put normal sized tyres on, if your going to strech tyres id go 15 or 20mm rears will be tight though. my wheels are around 8j iirc and theres not much room on the back (i have no strech, if i streched i could proberbly fit a 9j wheel there, but would be tight)

You can't really talk about fitment without knowing the offset :wink:

Generally the smallest adaptors you can get are 15mm, as long as the offset isn't mega low they should fit fine.

Are they genuine or reps? And how cheap? If they're reps and more than £200 then they're not worth the hassle, if they're genuine it's a different story.
