    What offset and width are the wheels?
    Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

    Hmmm.. I don't think you should have an issue with that size tbh. Someone here with experience of this on a Vectra should be able to help further.

    or warm them up with a heat gun and re-shape them
