From what i read i thought 17.7.5 and 17.8 where the correct stagger, if their not ill keep on looking for something else. Im a complete noob when it comes to wheels and tyres hence the dumb question lol..

The tyre part of it just confuses me, hence my post just wanted somebody who knows what they are talking about to point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Mark..

Also, make sure it's got the correct offsets for the S.

I don't understand the specifics, but it is mega important.

Well, the offset is arse about face for a finish.

Those rears are gonna look like Carlos Fandango wheels. You'll knock 'em off at the first width restictor.

What about the centre bores; they might not even go on the hubs!
