I think I'm going to need some spacers cos the offsets 33 on the wheels, I'm guessing a 15mm spacer will do the trick? as said above thats not really gonna work. The way Offset is measured u have to find the exact centre of the wheel and from that point to the bit that sits on ur hub is ur offset. its measured in mm usually. so if you have a smaller offset for eg pugeot is 18 i think, there is more metal inside the wheel so it will sit furthur out.

	http://www.tyresave.co.uk/tyresize.html Have a gander at that, will tell ya what can fit yer car, stock that is. Put your ones in the top and the ones your looking at in the bottom ;) EDIT: They will fit your car if the % is +/- 2% btw. Although with a little bit of adjusting you may be able to fit bigger.

	well i know i couldnt use 50-profile tyres runnin et38, only 45-profile with arch work when lowered 60mm... as said, make sure offset is correct (45-49) and you chould be fine
