    Online Wheel & Tyre Fitment calculator. Offset and Tyre Stretch

    Take measurements of the clearance you have with the current wheels and work it out from there. 49 is the best offset for your suspension geometry but you can fit lower. Usually down to 40 has little effect on normal driving.

    Nippy Cav Turbo

    Re: wheels

    to run wheels on ur cav turbo they need to be pcd 5x110 and offset et40-49...

    if u go lower than et40 i.e. 35 36 38 etc....u will leave ur arches behind u as u drive off cause ur wheels will stick out further than the arch! U can run 8j wide alloys on the cav but tbh u would be better off running 225x40x18 tyres (in doing so u will need arch mods i.e. roll the arch lips) cause 8j alloys are wider than the norm which would be 7.0 or 7.5j and u could end up cracking ur alloys merely cause the tyre width aint covering the wheel to protect. I found this out hard way
