Question Wheel offsets??

Hi

My OZ 16" wheels are ET50 and I have found a nice set of wheels that was originally for VW/Audi fitment 7x18, so I know the PCD is correct a 5x100mm and the offset of these cars are ET38, so question is:

What is standard Scooby offset? And will this wheel fit seeing as it is 7x18 wheel?? Also what tyre size should be fitted to this size of rim to make the Rolling raduis correct??

Sorry for all the questions but I don't want to buy a set of expensive rims that don't fit correctly!

Cheers

They won't fit, unless you're prepared to take a can-opener to your arches

ET on OEM 16in wheels is 53mm on a classic.

18's will fit if you get a set with an offset of 48-53
