ET13 is only 12mm wider than the usual ET25 upgrade, so should fit with the right tyre.

I used to run 8x15 ET4 on a Saph with a 195/50

They are Compomotive Old Skool Flat Face 5 Spokes ET33 standard, when I put my winter wheels on the 8 x 17 Speedlines I had to run a 16mm spacer to clear the front brakes I put them all round to make it look ok.
When I changed back to the MO's I left the spacers on to see how it looked, I thought it looked mint so left them on no other reason than aesthetics.

Here's a quick couple of photo's taken in the garage sorry for the poor quality it's dark out lol

You are probably maxxed out at the front with ET17 you might go to ET15 the rears could probably go another 10mm.

Chow,

Don't want to trim good ford arches as it's only a track car but might look for cheap glass versions and cut them up instead

Well bought the wheels and drove 700 mile to collect so as you'd imagine a bit pissed when they didn't fit.(seller didn't know so no fault there)

They have a smaller center bore for focus pumas etc afaik.

So what would they be worth as I'll have to resell over here I'd say

7.5x17 GpA inserts and et 13

it completely messes up your scrub radius. Rediculous to run the wrong offset wheels IMO
