I'm looking at a set of wheels with the specs;
Front: Et35 7x16"
Rear: Et20 9x16"
- Will these fit, if not what spacers do I need?
- Also, which profile tyres will be required to make the overall size of the wheel the same as my 15's (205/55/15)?
Wheel fitment & what tyres?

You'll need 20mm spacers for the fronts for the wheel to sit perfectly in the arch.
possibly 5mm on the rears.
tyres for the fronts 205/50/16's
tyres for the rears 225/45/16's with a bit of stretch to fit the 9j rim.
BTW, they are 4x100 and C/B of 57.1mm???

I'm waiting for a reply regarding the centre bore, and yes 4x100. Why a smaller profile on the rear?

You have to remember, the wider the tyre, the less on the profile.
The sizes I gave you will keep you rolling radius near enough the same as the 205/55/15 tyre, so you speedo will read near correct.

If the C/B is larger than 57.1mm, , as you'll be using spacers, you'll have to go hubcentrics, but you might struggle for the rears.

Is that due to the ET of the rears?
