Default Rondell 122's - quick question !

Just about to buy a set of 17's for my 92 4x4 Sapphire Cos - what offset should they be and what width, tyre size etc - I don't want any arch mods, just want them to slip straight on !

Sure I've heard some horror stories about peeps buying these and they are too wide etc ?

Many Thanks,

Dennis.

The official offset of a 4x4 Cosworth is between ET35 and ET40

Word of warning though, if you have a big brake kit they won't fit on....

No big brakes, just standard set up !

So ET35 is better than ET40 as I understand - ET35 will stick out just right where as ET40 will stick-IN too far ?
