use either et 35 or et 38 and you'll be fine don't be tempted to order anything like et 15's as they don't fit under rear
arches i made that mistake hope this helps i've gone 17's with et 35 offset on 205/40/17 tyres and they fit but i'm going to have to
buy different front arches

I had to get dax wings for the width on my 17's. They satified the examiner through the horizontal and the vertical axis as well. No need to add
the proverbial mudguards to get this tick !
I used a Northern Irish firm from the interweb called something alloys who produced me the 17" 7js for about £350 all in. They used Peugeot on
the front and Ford on the rear or the other way around.
Anyway send them the email from the website and job is a good un. I would thinking about it use them to cover them as well. My local tyre fitters were
happy to add the ebay rubber I sourced very reasonably for not inconsiderable sums (because they didn't supply them). Plus the fag factor of
lugging the rims about and waiting on a saturday for them to be done !
Moving on I'm going to get a set of Borbet's for my wee beasty. They do a 108 pcd when ordered from Germany and they do them to fill the
arches to !
So 10" rears rather than the piddly 7j which need to go !
