Default The perfect et "offset" for rsturbo s2 with 16"8" ??

As the title says!

I´m looking for to have a 16"8" wheel with 195/45/r16 and have coilovers GAZ.

I got a friend that got this : COMPOMOTIVI TH (old school) 16"8" wheel 195/45/r16 with ET= 27

He have no engine and no side-skurts (named like this? )

some pictures!






Let me ear about your experience! give me ET! PERFECT ONES plz.

ps: can it goes 26? can we put an 8.5 wide? cannot hit inside! that´s what i want


going to buy these for shoore!
MO1682 -> http://www.comp.co.uk/wheels/wheels....orsport+Wheels
last one!

In WHITE

My last question about this wheel (mo1682) on the web of Compomotive, is...

Are they the same angle as this next picture?







sorry using this beautifull picture my will be like this one, but as RST



Thanks in advanced

From personal experience, I wouldn't go any wider than a 7.5J rim. As for ET 35-30 sits well
