hi...I'm new to the forum, when I get round to it I'll put some pictures of my car on....anyway it has standard suspension and the wheels I've just put on are 17x7 (tyres 205/40 r17)with et35 offset :!

.....they don't rub but if I lowered it they would......they fill the arches and in my opinion look fab!

as I said, I'll add some photo's later.

As said, et38 will scrub day long. Maybe stretching some 165s over them might stop the scrubbing? (Wouldn't recommend it but its another alternative)

buy mine :D got post in for sale thread

i would try get some a bit more vaux friendly mate et 38 is way out you want to get as close to et 49 as poss

you want as close to et49 as possible fella

offset is 11mm out iirc

helo there av got 195/45/15s and all they do is scrape all the time the offset is et38 do u think ad b best off geting some proper vaux ones the cars lowered 60mil on the back and dint have a clue bout the front but the dampers are as hard as they go but still no luck cheers
