He did mention I'll have problems if the car is lowered, so Like I said, those with standard suspension probably get away with those shallow offsets.
Refurb, well thats where the saga started ........
The wheels went off to the refurb place on Monday, They got sand blasted and ready for painting when I got a phone call yesterday telling me that one of them has a "crack" on it. The refurb guys will not complete the job until it is repaired as they do not want to take any liability if the wheel falls apart. So they are on their way back to me - should have them by tomorrow to have a look at this crack.
I thought I'd rather get a new set than have it repaired.
So now the car is up on axle stands in my garden, and my wife is back from the States on saturday and needs to use it for work on Monday!!
So I need to get some new wheels on it by the weekend!!
The nearest one I've found that "may" fit is a 19x8.5 ET 43, but I'm still not sure whether to risk it.
I just can't find any 19x8 ET45s anywhere, they're not even listed by the manufacturers. :(
