Hi there!

As reluctant as I am to post another wheels thread, I'm eager to make sure I've double checked what I'm doing before I order some!
I've read all the posts I can find, and am now well aware of the importance of stagger for the tyres, but my query is mainly to do with offset on the wheels.

The wheels I am looking at are Cades Bern 7.5 x 17 on the back with et42 offset and 7 x 16 on the front with et35 offset.

Now I understand the standard wheels have an offset of 45, so am I going to run into issues installing these wheels? I'm mainly concerned
about the fronts, as that is where the biggest variance is. The site confirms they will fit, and offers any fitting kit needed, but I want to
be doubly sure before I spend my money.

The other option is refurb the standard wheels, but given that I need new tyres all round, I don't think it will save me too much compared with buying new ones.

Any comments / advice welcome.

Gary.
