I have lined up a set of replica rs alloys but the bloke said before i sell em to u i had a guy a few weeks back who got a set n he said they wer very close to the calipers or something? I then asked him bout offset etc n he said the are a 40 offset and fit 205/40/17 tyres...but how can it be too close to the caliper? Does he really mean it was scrubbin on the inside of the arch?

If its a 40 offset that mean it comes out a bit more so it shudnt scrub inside? Would there be problems gettin the nuts to fit on the ends coz the threads are on the caliper??

Y cant life just be easy lol??!!!

the studs wont need to be longer to fit a bigger offset the hole will just be deeper i would have thought!


the st brakes are really not very big, the only way to find out is to put one on the car and find out!
