Happy new year to all.
I'm looking at getting some new wheels and I'm struggling to find the correct offset for that flush look.
Currently running the standard 16inch alloys et 35 with 16mm
spacers and they are not quite flush enough,any ideas would be great.
Many thanks
 
The more positive the offset wheel moves inward. Less positive moves the wheel outward. There is also ET0 which is zero offset and also there is negative offset which brings the wheel outward a lot, but could possible cause problems like touching the fenders if being loaded a lot.
 
If you've got ET35 with 16m spacer you essentially have ET19. If you want them further out, then you want something with a smaller ET, however also take the width of the wheel into account.

Example: You currently have a 17x6J wheel and the gap you want to fill is 12mm. You can either stick with 17x6J with an ET of around 8, or you could get 17x7J with ET19. These would be 25mm wider and so would have an extra 12.5mm on each side to fill the gap. They would run the risk of scrubbing on the inside though.
