Mate who i bought my OZ's off had them on his corsa B for a while. There 17*7", and are ET42. Only time he had them rub was when he was 7 up

. That said at that point the wheels wouldnt turn either

hmmm thats intresting

im wondering if there would be clearance issues if the wheels ad a dish as such

do would it mean the face of the wheel sits back further, or the dish makes it stick out more

if you see what i mean

yep but what im thinking is the face of the wheel is in a line with the Rim

what happnes when your running a split rim, with a dish

does the face of the wheel sit further back, or would that stay the same and the dish stick out making it ther require width

my comp mos are 7" wide. they are et45. loads of room for brakes but does catch slightly on the rear over fast humps in the road. nothing a few more mm clearance wont solve.

the dish wont effect anything, as the offset determins where the wheel bolts onto the hub,

If your asking what i think your asking, the offset is determined from the centre of between the two rims the tyres sit on. Doesnt make a difference if the wheel is dished on not, the offset, and hence where the tyre sits in the arch will be the same.
