So i've been looking at some new wheels but the offset and widths is confusing me

My standard wheels are 4x100 6.5J 17" et 46

Now the wheels im looking at are Keskin kt1's in 17"

theres a couple of choices in the right pcd, fronts:
4x100 8.5j 17" et 25 and 4x100 8.5j et35

rears:
4x100 10j et20 and 4x100 et25

What would be the best fit? do i need to get the tape measure out and check the clearance?

go for the higher offset wheels in each case and run spacers if they're not 'poked' enough for you...

the lower the offset the more chance you'll need to run negative camber... which i'm guessing you won't want to do if you can help it!?

stretch tyres are a must though

mind you... 10j ET25 on the rear, i would imagine you'll have to run -ive camber to get them under...

with that sort of width, you might need to run spacers to avoid hitting the suspension etc

165/50/15 bridgestones are £50 each fitted, nankangs in the same size are around £35 each i think. won't rub one bit with these on

...195/45/15 will rub, let alone 195/50 or 205/50
