my m8's thinking of buying some cheap wheels he saw, they're 16's but he said the offset was between 35 and 40. is that massively off? will it rub bad..i was telling him he might have to get a kit to lower it a wee bitty and stiffen the suspension, he has an L plate gsi if it makes a difference
i think i would get them if it was 40, but not 35, what would u guys do?

im just wondering what could u do to make them rub less, would getting a lowering kit help or make it worse? or maybe uprated back shocks?
