That's going to stick under the arch by another centimetre or so, so they may not fill the arches particularly well. And you'll run the risk of them scrubbing the inside of the wheel arch liner when turning sharply.

Cheers chaps, Im not sure what to do now though, Does it mean that because there 55 offset and the meg takes 35 to 45 offset that they are more inside of the arch and if so do I need some 6 to 10mm spacers to make them fit right with longer bolts? The Meg does have quite big flared archs also.

I would say 10mm spacers with longer bolts. Make sure you get hub-centric spacers as well!

so if your car is say ET35 mate... and the wheels are ET55... 20mm spacers would make them ET35.... you can buy hubcentric spacers that bolt to your hub so you bolt the wheel to the spacer.

Higher the ET the further in the arch the lower the ET the more poke! :)

Just call me Andy the Shrew!! :-D
