jed the et is too low for a wedge really the wheels will fit but the offset will put strain on the bearings. same as fuchs, empis, gas burners, brms and anything else made for a bay!!!
some people run em ok tho. its up to you really fella!!

There are 2 offsets for Pentas that I know of - Et35 and Et11.
I have run both on my Syncro with no adverse effects to date in both 15 and 16" variants.
To be safe though fit the correct studs/nuts and if funds permit do the bearings and seals at the same time.

CJ, hes fitting the wheels on his 2wd...... no studs on 2wd, no need to change the bearings...
Measure the lenght of the studs on the Syncro and ask Si for some that will protrude the same for the rear of the camper and a set of "adapter" studs (studs that screw in instead of the bolts a 2wd has normally) for the front, then you can use the nuts that came with the wheels...
