Picked some wheels i want! 
Just unsure what the best offset to have, they are 7 wide 14inch!
so either a et32 or et42?
I know et42 will have less chance of scrubbing when decked etc but with it being a euro dished wheel am i best to go for et32 for a better look? wish there was a offest inbetween!
Hope you all understood that crap!  Cheers!

ET32 will 'stick out' roughly 2 or 3 mm from the arches max...
i would say go for ET42 and put some spacers on for a wider track- at least then your new rims will be more adaptable
OR: if you go for the ET32 with a 165 or 185 tire, you might get them just inside the arch that way...
how low are you going??

Thanks for reply aron!
Will be hopefully going 60mm rear and 70/80mm front! was think 165 but having tyre stretched so not to sure if that will make a difference!

no worries mate!!
a 165 will give you the best possible arch clearance... would look sweet too!!!
60mm at the back should give you loads of room (as in, will not be slammed on the tire) on a 14" rim with a 40/45 tire
the only probs would be when carrying peeps in the back - based on my experiences of ET37 down 60mm (mine doesnt rub at all but is hella tight, but on ET32 you'd have more problems...)
is it your daily driver?? i was going to go for 165s but needed the protection of the tire for everyday use...
...go anywhere near a curb and its game-over for your beautiful new rim...
