im planning on buying some new wheels soon, and i want to be able to drop it 40mm and have no probs whatsoever, cos i have 15s at the moment but they scrub to fuck and seeing as they dont have the offset printed on them anywhere i can only guess they are like ET 35 or something, its terrible!
i quite fancy some of those nice mille miglias, dont remember the model name offhand, in 16s, so what offset would i be looking at for a scrub free 40mm drop?
also its 17s when arch work is required isnt it, so 16s will go straight on?

Ta very much

Mille Miglias do an ET45 offset. 16's and a 40mm drop will be no problem at all but saying that 17's should b no problem either. The most u shud hav to do is remove the rear arches, take off the bolts that hold them on and stick them back on instead.

With et45-49 you should be cool, but sayin that i have 49 and had to cut the arches back slightly and flare the bottoms a little but its fine now. rubs a little with two eople in the back though.
