General 45 offset?

[j0nny]

this may see like a stupid question but i have 2 ask. someone is selling a set of wheels ive been mad about since i first seen them years ago. pcd and centre bore is fine but offset is 45 i know that the offset for a stilo varies between 42 and 35 but would it be possible to get away with 45 offset?

10mm spacers, will give them a 35 offset you may get away with 5mm spacers they wont need longer bolts

 

[j0nny]

i thought it was the other way about, as in if they were 25 offset, 10mm spacers would bring them out to 35? glad im wrong wooo

 

[j0nny]

js wait, with spacers i can forsee problems with wobbly bolts?

 

[dave]

if you can get away with the 5mm spacers giving you a 40mm offset then standard wobblys be fine, if you go 10mm then you have to find longer wobblys

you sure bout the spacers thing though? i sell quite a few wheels in wrk and we always sell universal 4 stud multi fit whell with an offset of 38, very common and we sell 20 mm spacers for pugs and citroens as their offset if around 18 for some models as far as i remember, ill double check tomorrow as this is from memory

High value offset usually requires spacers. I had the Ritmo Abarth alloys on my 1.1ieS Uno. The OEM Cromodora alloys for the Abarth had ET60 offset, and I had to use 25 mm spacers to fit them to the Uno -if not they were bolted directly to the frame . High offset is often found on wide wheels or with cars with huge brakes (which requres a lot of space).
