ET35 is what my bro uses. Don't forget to use a 195/40/16 tyre as well

My bro fitted the ET40 offset Mondeo 16s off his missus Escort GTi and had problems with them. Had to space them off the fuel filler pipe

i was gunna run on 45 profiles as there cheaper

if they sit in thats fine with me as i have coil overs pluss the 15's im running now are 7 inch wide, and ive not a clue what offset

and thats with my rear disc, i should be ok then as the rear disc conversion has pushed the wheels out about 20mm towards arches
