Think you should use the search too, so many times people have said use spacers, so many times people have said thats silly because it will reduce the offset further.

@ spacers... spacers would push the wheels out even further, making the problem worse

49mm offset is the only way to go.... no fucking about with tramlining or pulling

i had et45 alloys before, and it pulled all over the place even with them only being 4mm wrong

stick to the vauxhall bods formula and you cant go wrong

The answer is:

The wheels will fit with some modification to the rear arches, but you wont be able to lower it very much without thme catching.

Spacers won't do anything, they will make the situation worse as they will move the wheels further away from the hub thus reducing the offset.

I would advise you to try find some other wheels as even of you get them to fit, the car will tramline (go wherever the hell it wants)... Look for something around ET45, but no higher than ET49...

i have alloys that are ET 35 and they rub alot......technically you need et45-49 which has been said before though the size should be fine its the offset that matters (try soft stars or speedline alesio....though u may need to save up

)
