    Has anybody fitted a set of wheels with an ET of 42mm before?
    7x15" wheels.
    I am looking at a set that have come of a Nissan Sunny GTIR and I notice they go from 35-42mm offset.

    they would stick in the wheel arches a long way - would probably look pretty odd...

    If you really like the wheels then just get some spacers to push them out.

    but you woul dhave to really like the wheels...


    decent spacers with spigot rings cost a few quid, and then you would need longer bolts to go with them


    sometimes cheaper to find a different set of wheels
