Both Size Et's will fit. The wheel will just stick out from the hub more. Only really a problem when lowring. I'm on ATS Cups. ET 28 and my rears rub like hell. But my winter wheels are BBS with an ET of 38. These will not rub. and if they do no wear as much as my Cups.

Very nice Rims. I think the ET 20's as it would look awesome on wide 13's.

Just my view.

You can't lower too much on 195/50/15's as thats your current state. Tyres would scrub against the inner arch with a hefty drop.

Not sure what you mean by ET1!!!!!

Anyway, the lower the ET, the further the rim sticks out from the outer arch.

The ET aka the offset is the distance from the center of the wheel to the mountin surface.
E.G.
If you have 8j wheels with et 0 the mounting surface is at 4j (middle)
If you have 8j wheels with et 50 the mounting surface is at 2j (3/4 of way)
If you have 8j wheels with et 100 the mounting surface is at 8j (the edge)
The higher the off set the further IN the arch they sit.

Be careful with the Renault alloys as I think the center bore is a couple of mm difference :wink:

^^ if that's the case and the CB is bigger on the rim, you can use spigott rings. if they're smaller then they'd need machining to fit.
