So the job interview went well and my momo steering wheel arrived (How i do love ebay!)

Best of all my car passed its MOT without a single advisory? Bit surprising as on the last MOT had a advisory about rust, which must have magically cured itself! :D

PS if anyone has a car that just wont pass the test, i can forward on the address!! (y)

Then my day was shattered when my new lovely wheels wont fit on.
They are from a punto sporting and have had loads of TLC to get them looking pretty excellent.

Catching on the upright and on the track arms. I know the ET is about 10.5 out so a spacer kit would be the obvious choice, however the guy said "put 15's on instead". :confused:

Anyone know any 15" that have a offset of 30-32 and have a 4 x 98 stud pattern or should i go spacers?

Any views, ps there will be a complete set of referb'd punto sporting wheel in GT graphite grey (with original red abarth centre caps) for sale very soon if i can find some 15".

Scrap my original post. All junk really.
I have finally found the answer i need on another part of forum DOH!

New Question - Anyone go a pair of 20mm and a pair of 10mm spacers (with bolts) they want to get rid of?
 
my car already had rolled arches before these wheels, but they look like they would be fine without - the car used to have 15x6j so arches were rolled back then.

Can't remember exactly what i have fitted, they were all spacers i had lying about. But on a cinq to get it back to bang on stock ET you need 18mm at front and 15mm at the back. So easiest way to do that is get 4x 15mm spacers and a set of oem cinq front 3mm spacers. Same setup will work fine on a sei too, would just be 1mm further in i think, which would be fine.
