Hi every one ive been looking at a set of 18inch alloys but with an offset of 20 would these fit ? they are 8.5j so will this be to wide ? the stud diameter is the correct 112 and i know i will have to have the centers bored out to clear the grease caps but im not sure its going to fit with the offset and rim width if any one can help it would be much appreciated
thanks phil

I dont think they will clear the front arches. You would probably need 20mm + spacers pushing the rims out too far.

Your gunna need PopEye fore arms or PAS.
8.5's is a bit wide for the front, I take it with that size wheel you'r going to be lowered? If so you'r in for some big clearance problems.
The Germans don't really do much more than 7.5" on the front.
Thing is with ET20, they will need to be that to clear the wishbone, but they are either going to stick out or be very close to sticking out, so you'r going to pummel your arches.
I wouldn't fit them personally.
