Just after a quick answer, offset of a VTS wheel?
And how wide are they? Going of a GTI6 Cyclone to be 6J I will hazard a guess at that.

I know the Saxo takes ET15-20 wheels.

I am looking at buying some with ET40.

They are 15x7J, so 'ideally' need 25mm spacers, but is it possible to get away with only 20mm? Or will they be sat too far into the arches?

This link tells me that, with with a 6J and ET15 standard wheel to a 7J and ET40 new wheel...

Inner Clearance: 38mm LESS (the inside of the wheel to the strut housing)

Outer Position: RETRACT by 12mm (position of the outside edge of the wheel)

If I change the ET40, to ET20 (20mm spacers, am I correct in doing this?) it says that there is 18mm less INNER clearance, and 8mm extra OUTER position.

With ET15, 25mm spacers, it says 13mm less INNER and 13mm extra OUTER.

What would be the best bet?

Thanks.
