offset help

[Mister D]

I have a set of 7 x 16 wheels ET35 which I am getting 205/50/16 tyres fitted.

I notice on this site most people say ET49 but the sites I checked before I bought these said 35 to 42.

Will these scrub?

1998 Astra convertible with standard suspension

ive got 7x17 et35 on mine they fit but tramline really bad, im getting rid for some et49 wheels.

 

[Mister D]

going to get another set with the correct offset I think, thanks for your help

doubt very much theyll rub especially on a convertible as the arches on them are bigger at the back than the hatch

it's not the back thats the problem, its the front I think they will catch on the lip of wing under heavy braking.

i thought that the ofset would be 39 and the pcd 100 was the correct size ? im gonna get myself some aez wheels tomorow from halfords with these measurements, oh and theyre gonna be 16" because i dont want to risk rubbing as its been lowered

am i going to be making a mistake ???
