Default What width and offset for an MO to fit a 4x4 saff cos????

Hi all,
I plan to fit a set of 17" MO's to my 4x4 saff cos, but not sure what offset and width of wheel to get, obviously the wider the better, but dont want the arches gettin scraped to hell!! Bear in mind that there will be 4 pots on the front, and will be sitting on a set of koni's.

So, what do ya rekon???????

For the Sapphire 4x4 you need 7˝ x 17 ET37.

This is what it would look like .



I would rather eat glass than be associated with you

Be brave and go for these instead - would suit a Sapphire

10x17s and get the arch roller out, proper mean

We all pussies in the UK cossie world when it comes down to wheel/tyre width.

In europe you see loads of Cossies on big fat rims and they look the tits.

TBH, think I'd rather go to a gig with you in one of your funky tops

Not what I'd call a good looking wheel IMO
