Offset question

21st February 2010, 23:55

im hopefully picking up a set of wheel next weekend and just wondering will a offset of 12 fit onto a saxo, i no there spose to be 18 (i think) but shud that extra 6 matter to much, i would try the wheels on the car but im rebuilding my engine atm, any help shed sum light on this, cheers

of course they'll fit as long as they are a 4x108 pcd with correct spigot ring, they might poke out of the arches a little bit though.

yes they will fit. they will have 6mm of extra poke to standard wheels. its when you go higher into the offset range is when you have to consider spacers. E.T 12 are fine

15-18 iirc is the reccomend offset range for a saxo. As said going lower just puts more of the wheel on the outside face. It's higher offsets that don't fit as the foul on breaks, shocks etc. 6mm is nothing to worry about unless you've got really wide wheels. Anything upto 7.5" i cant see you having to many problems with.
