I think 17x7J should be fine... Buy ET45 and if you need spacers then get them... Surely it's better to buy a higher offset and only use spacers if you really need to, rather than buying lower offset wheels and not being able to do anything to raise it...

so might i be ok with 7 x 17 et45??

My current wheels are ET45 but r 7.5" wide and i get a lot of tramlining already...

Um Adam_B runs ET45 16"x7J with FK coilovers... Would have thought the width was more important as my wheels go above the spring platform...

If you're fitting wide arches then go for ET40 - at least then the fibreglass will hide the bodged arches underneath.

I've had to fit spacers on my ET45 wheels to get clearance on my 4-pots and the handling is now terrible - I can't understand why people would be happy driving a Corsa with ET40 wheels unless they've never tried it on ET45-49!!

this is the worry i have, does anyone know on FK or COBRA coilovers, as the spax ones r a tad different to the others...

Im looking at getting Dare V1's for my car, 7 x 17".

I also want to fit coilovers at the same time, and psg wide archs.

My question is what offset should i get, ET45 or ET40, bearing in mind that i want it to clear the coilover strut without spacers, and i dont want any rubbing at all!!
