15x7s usually fit ok but i am unsure about the offset being 35 the ones I'm fitting are also 15x7 but have an offset of 24

ty well every website i checked says i got an offset of 38 but these wheels on ebay are 35 will it make much diffrence as its such a small diffrence

once again ty for quick response

ET 35 should be fine, just be carfull about running with anything that pushess the wheels more than 5-10mm further out than standard at the front as this messes up the scrub radious geometry and will make the car harder to control in the event of a puncture.

Ty for you are advice i take it that is what the 7j is then how much furthur it sticks out from the wheel hub???

7j is a 7 inch width.

This calculator (I have a better one somewhere) will give you the new inner and outer clearances.

ty again just done the calculater and here are my results

The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 3mm LESS

The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 9mm

is this ok and what changes in handlin etc if any would i find, many thanks guys so many quick replies

So my standard 6n which i believe has an offset of 38.. will a 35 offset fit????

Well they fit perfect just need my new springs exhaust and new engine in the summer
