I think 8 wide is 2 wide.

As far as I know is 7,5 the widest possible with a bit of lowering.

The germans are putting 8 wide on it, but there springs are so stiff that they arent moving on bumps.;)

I think ET35 is the best on 7,5 wide.

The reason is that Mine was lowered 40 mm and it is a stiff spring;)

How do you guys get away without rubbing, what work have you had done?
I have 7.5 x 16 ET45 with 195/35/16 rubber and even with rear arch work it still rubs when there are people in the back.

thought 7,5 inch wide was ET 35.

Dont know about the 8 wide.

I think you can also fit 225 or 235 on a 7,5 wide.

I had 16" on 7,5 wide.
My only problem is that my rear axle isnt 100% in the middle.

Had minor problems rear with scrubbing on 1 side.
In front no problems (lowered -4)

et35 but an 8" wide wheel will be a nightmare to fit without scrubbing if you are lowered unless you have done something major with your arches...

Coz i'm thinking
in using 8x17 wheels
on my corsa turbo
with 235/40 or 225/35 rubber.

What do you think would be the best offset there?
