i recently bought some wolfrace ikons from a supposedly trust worhty garage, they fitted them and i though yeah these are phat drove off.
after a few days of driving ive noticed i have problems.
they are blatantly the wrong offest, even tho the garage told me they are correct.
ive tried to take them back but they said i knew they were the wrong offest!!!! tossers :@
anyway there up for sale, i just want to know what offset to get again so i make sure i get the right ones.
btw the wheels were 17" x 7.5" and the offest ive now found out is 50

that offset should be fine as its only 1mm off from the proper vauxhall offset.

If the offset is 50, they should catch your suspension and not your outer arch.
7.5 is quite wide but I'd try spacers before selling so quick.
Check you're definately right on the measurement though, 4x100 et50 is an odd fitment.

Get some 3mm spacers - should only cost £10-15.
50mm is a typical size for the New Mini.

if he says it hits his outer arch then spacers will only make it worse?
i think the width of thw wheels is the problem, get some 7" wide wheels not 7.5 which is what yours is.

What size are the tyres, changing only the width of the wheel wont reduce scrubage as its the tyres that are scrubbing.
