Offset help...

I want to get a set of wheels for my Mk2 Punto that are wider at the back as no set of wheels ive seen seem to fill the back arch properly.

Ive found two sets of wheels at a good price:

First is Azev As. They come in 7.5x15 (30mm offset) at the front and 9x15 (15mm offset) at the rear.

Second is Borbet BSs. They come in 7x15 (35mm offset) at the front and 8.5x15 (20mm offset) at the rear.

Which set do people think will fit and handle best? Bearing in mind the distance from the strut, how much they'l stick out, etc...

Re: Offset help...

why are the front and rear offsets different?

the wheels should be identical.

Re: Offset help...

If the offsets were the same, then there wouldnt be enough clearance between the wheel and the suspension strut, or the front wheel would have a massive clearance.

Or thats how i reckon it should be...

The BeBe wheels website has vanished, and thats where i used to get all my offset info!
