yeah just to clear things up for ya becasue there past teh normal gem offset they will sit out abit more hen normal and that = wider tyres

I have 17's offest ET40 with 205's and the car is lowered and they r sweet. Only prob is you cant go to quick on full lock or over large bumps.

yer well i think they r either 215 or 205 i am hoping 205, but yer i just didnt want them riggling loose, like the mags on my scrubber, so you recon that would work i hope it does cause i am gonna buy em.

thanx guys.

actually increased offset makes the wheels sit further inward

so will that mean i wont have to roll my guards?

The main problem will arise if you dont have an adjustable panhard rod, the right wheel may scrub on the inner/upper spring seat and spring. Thats only if its lowered a fair bit though.
