Has anyone ever run a - wheel offset on the rear? I'd assume you'd have some issues?... The exact et, is -10.

i might be wrong but would that not make the wheel sit best part of 45mm out wards of the wheel arch

That's a point, looking at the wheels again. I keep confusing myself with all the different measurements. It's a nightmare trying to find something you like when everything that catches you eye doesn't fit.

I had ET 0 on mine, 8x13. They rubbed real bad.

I don't want to run spacers either, I want to find something that'll fit near on perfectly, but no one makes wide 13 inch wheels with dimensions for the 5. I found a set from two companys in the U.S but they won't email me back, clearly not interested by a buyer from the UK:rolleyes:.

Buy them in 15" and put them in the washing machine, on a hot wash.

I emailed Compomotive about them a few weeks back and they told me they weren't a current catalogue item. So I just didn't bother... Although they were my favourite out of all the ones i've looked at as I nearly got them to mould me a set of 15'' TH Mono wheels, which were quite similar.

I've tried looking on the German ebay too, but I haven't got the foggiest about what the ads say, and i don't know how to use a translater...:rolleyes:

Schmidt do a very similar wheel, which I could probably get easily and fit with no problems but they want stupid money, like £1100:crap:

Do you mean the minilite style ones or the TH copy things in the bottom avatar pic, Andy?

Not too fond of the minilite style wheels, i'm a hard man to please:)...

These would look quite rude on a five although I had to hand roll the arches on this 306gti6 to fit the monster 10x15s
