i think the offset is either et35 or et37, no difference between the two really.
not sure on the j of the willy wheels, my borbet c's are 7j on the valver, wouldn't imagine you'd have too much trouble with 8j as long as it isn't slammed.
what wheels you looking at then? :P

i think mark ritchspeed tryed 205/45/15 tyres on his clio and found no noticable gain for the extra cost of tyres, btw they was on std williams rims

8's are a no no on the front ...easy space at the rear, Would handle better on 7's for sure :wink:

But the tyres are the same...

random...

lol

(but I imagine wider rims = greater tyre control)
