wheels and offsets?

[JonyTVR]

I'm wanting to get some new wheels for the chim and whilst I'm lay up in hospital its a perfect time to search for ones I like, my only question is regarding offsets really. I have never really understood them at all. So what ideally should it be for a chim and am I right in thinking you can make most wheels fit you may just need to use spacers?

And the pcd is 4 x 108 right? I don't have my bible here to double check.

Cheers
Jon

fronts ET25, rears ET35 ideally.

as I understand it offset is the amount the centre line of the tyre is moved inboard from the hub face, so yes ET35 could be put on the front with 10mm spacers to make it an ET25. but you could not go the other way.

hopefully that is right!

I am also looking into new wheels , there have been many threads before on this. I wrote down the numbers that most people seemed to agree on at the time.

Front PCD 108 ET25
Rear PCD 108 ET33

ETA I also made a note of what seemed to be a popular combo for 17/18 wheels, cant guarantee this is right I am sure someone more knowledgeable will be along shortly:

Front 7x17 215/40
Rear 8x18 245/35

Cheers guys, got my eyes on a fee different sets, most are et35-38 so all should be ok with the addition of spacers on the front. Will update you once I find something I like!
