    can I get away with, without problems on the R56.??

    I know OEM wheels have an offset 48

    anyone know??

    I am looking at 7.5 x 18 wheels with an offset of 40.?? I'm thinking it should be fine with it being a 7.5 wheel.?

    why not ask the supplier? surely they would be able to advise...

    or give ajamesj (Andy) a call at the place in Dundee that he works as he sells wheels and bits for a living..

    I am not offering much help here as referring to an R50...however with my wheel spacers I am running an offset of 33mm. Everything is fine & wheels sit within the arches, only problem I have is that when people are in the back the car scrapes all the time :(

    Understand the info you want is for the R56 though! Give Zimbo a PM, his aftermarket alloys on his Dooper are relatively wide

    I have fitted a fair range of wheels on the R56 now and they are best suited to a et40 or above so the handle and looks are not effected.

    Hope this helps

    7.5 x 18 with a et40 and 215/35/18 or 205/40/18 tyres all work well it just depends on what sort of money you wish to spend on tyres also the 215/35/18 are a bit harder on ride quality.

    Mille Miglia are now bust in the Uk so I cannot get my hands on this package however I do have a set of 18" Mille Miglia HT3 with Pirelli 215/35/18 in stock lol if your interested PM me and I will tell you the price dont want to get into trouble on here .
    All Mille Miglia wheels are the best quality you can get and the deal you have been offered on the Ravia is excellent
