Angry Oh no dropped a boo boo

Just clicked buy it now on the wrong page on ebay i thought the wheels were ET48 but after purchased it said ET42 slightly concerned. haven't paid for them yet but reading up on the offset the lower the offset the further out the wheels will stick. They are Inovit ST VI's 7.5"x18" and i do plan to run 215/35/18's on them, im guessing i will have issues with them rubbing the arches?? The car is a Classic MY00 running standard suspension. Would be great full if someone could confirm this ASAP Thanks Ryan.

I'm not 100% on this but I think you will find they will rub.... I'm running a 48 offset here with 7.5" width, 215/35/18 it's what is recommended for a classic, you may find 225 will work on a wagon and possibly a 2 door just for extra info.

Contact the seller and explian the situation... he may be reasonable about it.

cheers mate, using the search function i found a group buy from a while ago and they stated that the Inovit ST VI come in ET42 for classics. Could this just be down to the design of the wheel ?

lol ok just be aware it may be an issue if you change your front brake calipers though... you may need to run spacers or change the wheels at a later date.
