Henny 0 Posted January 22, 2004 I've got 16x7.5J 30mm offset Borbet Cs on my 'rado It's lowered about 35mm on coilovers and looks great... 8) The offset of the wheel needed depends on the model/year of your 'rado 'cos the later ones got the PLUS suspension with a totally different offset.

Is that using 30 mm offset wheels........ 10mm spacer making 20mm offset on the back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rico 0 Posted January 22, 2004 35mm offset mate making 25mm. all i know is it looks good!! I love my wheels, they really suit the lines of the car in in my opinion :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted January 23, 2004 Henny.... is it possible to fit 16x7.5 30mm offset without coilovers?? That's what my car had been running for the best part of 10 years and 200K miles with no problems, so an early (non PLUS suspension) car should have no problems with that set up! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gareth 0 Posted January 23, 2004 thanx henny....... still considering the deepdish look but still unsure about what offset to use with 16x8.0........ I wish i could speak and read German :!: :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted January 23, 2004 Google is your friend! Use the translate function on either Google or Alta Vista and you should get a damned good idea as to what they're on about! :wink: 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
