thanks for the replies but i fink im gonna get some newer wheels 16 inch
:D:D
but the ones that i want to get have an offset of 40mm
i know this is slightly bigger than the originals so was wondering if i will have to get any spacers for them to sit nice
i did some research and found that it is safe to go up to 7mm more then the original offset but im no expert so could anyone please back up this information

lol mine runs 16" BBS RX2s with no problems at all, and it looks great. 17"s on the other hand are a step too extreme - they really look out of place, as its all rim and no tyre.
