   i currently have a 2003 black vtr which is almost standard
   i am considering getting some new alloys, either white vts or white team dynamics 1.2
   i have read the thread in the FAQ section about offset and i have to admit i am still a little confused
   i am thinking either 15" or 16"
   but if i were to get the team dynamics 1.2 what offset should i go for
   as i am trying to avoid much diy and cutting up the inside of the arches
   
   does anyone have any answers......?
   (soz about the essay lol)

   Are you planning to lower it?
   
   If you're considering white alloys I'd definitely take at a look at OZ Superturismo WRC's.
   
   Offset wise I think you're looking at about 18, anything over and you'll need spacers.

   15's need 195 45 15 tyres.
   16's need 195 40 16 tyres.
   
   Use of the correct sized rubber should prevent scrubbage!

   If your dropping it by 40mm I'd advise you to get 16's on 40mm profile tyres. It won't rub and it will look spot on.
   
   I'm down near enough 60mm with 15's and they still look a bit small.
