Standard are usually 43 but your about and inch wider so 10mm maybe 15mm

depends how you want it sat and what your tyres are like. They stretched on or fitted properley?

Isn't standard offset more like ET38?

its going to have the existing tyres swapped of the rims, so will be a tiny bit of stretch. Not Massive?

i just dont want to order adapters to find the car has shed loads of poke. Its The mrs motor, so i want to roll nice, not scrape (im not rollin anymore archs lol, i hate doing it) so you think 10's would be best?

Ive just tested some 16x8 Mercedes wheels and with adapters et was 21.
They were only just poking on the back to the top of the arch, however from the rear bumper they did look pretty wide!
I would go with an offset of around 30 with 7.5"

15mm dude
Go on http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp
And you can see how much further in or out the wheels will sit.
A 7.5" wheel with offset of 30 will sit out 21mm further than a standatd Ibiza alloy (6.5j offset 38)

To mork
I was just going off what size my old wheels were so dunno lol

how far Off Beverley are you then mate?

Would adapter size not be determined by how much stretch he is running tho? I'm probably wrong like haha!

What size tyres you gunna be running so I can get an idea of stretch amount

not to undermine this fellow ^^ cos it seems he knows his onions but just to be on safe side

might off seen my yellow mk3 ibiza cupra flying about, yellow with black super t's

205/45/16

 

[mazzerati]

Haha closer than I thought! I'll prolly see more of you then cos I work in brough

Dude, 205/45/16 wont have any stretch on 7.5" rims.
I would run 15 - 20mm spacers else you will have problems with scrubbing if you go any bigger or the bolts will be too long if you go any smaller.
Tell Lindsay to be a hero and run 165/40/16s.

Also to Mazeratti, My mum also lives in Beverley so might of seen a green mk2 ibiza, black azev As, bonnet bra etc...

 

[mazzerati]

Suprisngly not :S i only know of one green mk2 and it parks near the bus station
not to worry!
