Will this wheel offset work?
Hey guys. I want to get some wheels with a different offset, to move them out towards the guards as much as possible without them rubbing anything. I am looking at a set which are a 15x7.5 35mm offset. I will be using them with my existing tyres- 185/55 front and 205/50 rear. Do you think these wheels will fit ok? The car is on standard suspension and not lowered. I used an offset guide I found on here that Mickey Duck posted years ago. It tells me that the front (which is what I'm most concerned about) will move out by 29mm and the inner clearance will be 9mm less as a result. Thanks.

Should work fine. I have 15x8 +25 on mine. The gaurds were rolled to stop them rubbing on hard cornering as well as a rear sway bar. You should be fine with an extra 13mm or so compared to mine.

Excellent. Thanks so much. They're getting one in to try out later this week. I think the AW11 looks way better with a wider stance. Incidentally, did you find it affected handling much? Any different? I presume it will in some way.
