It is illegal to have wheels that protrude from the wheelarches, so you'd have to make sure the arches accomodated their width for one thing...

Doesnt that only apply to the hub and not necessarily the rim or tyre?

i ran 16x7.5 et37, couldnt get any1 in the back or the metal arch would fek the tyre, was planning to bend the arches out, thus solving both problems of the metal sticking out and the arches rubbing.

but just sold them instead and gonna get some with the right offset.

handling is also a pain in the arse with the wrong offset, you fly around everywhere!!!

No, it applies to the rim and tyre, tho you'll only have a prob if its very noticeable... I knew someone whos tyres stuck out, you could see the entire shoulder section out from the arch, and he was pulled and fined for it.
