Quick question.. It seems most alloys have ET of between 15 and 50 but most are 25 plus or so... Et15 on the rear doesn't seem much and hard to find... Any thoughts? Have seen some 16x7 ET 35 or 17x7 ET 38

Guessing these may both be too big?? I have a mark1 1987 and have been told rear arches are a little bigger than the younger ones.. Just having a re-spray so cant get it too wrong.. I am able to roll arches tho..

Comments much appreciated.. Thanks Justin

Hubcentric spacers will lower your offset. 10mm spacers for example would bring your 16x7 ET35 down to ET25, which will be closer to the standard E30 fitment.
