What you wanna do is find out what the factory offset and width wheel is, and from there you can work out what will and won't fit. If you PM tsoob he should be able to help you out, if he doesn't find this post first :P

Whiel on the topic of off sets...

We took my Girlfriend's car to get a WOF at On Road at Westgate yesterday and it failed on the wheels. She bought the mags from Mag and Turbo on Wairau Road. The WOF man said at full lock the mags are grinding on the lower suspension arms, so has failed it.

So, do we take the car back to Mag and Turbo and get them to fix it, seeing as they were the ones that fitted the wheels to the car? What can they do to fix it anyway? I don't see them changing the mags to a beter suited size or off set.

It pisses me off, becasue she got the mags November last year, so it's already passed one WOF with them on and now they pick up on it.

What a F-ing hassle.
