I have had a set of 16x7 VTO wheels with a 35mm offset, I am thinking they wouldn’t work on my narrow body car? Is this correct? I believe I would need a 23.3 offset? I will try to look through older threads.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)

This is the exact wheel I run and have convinced a couple other locals to run as well, ET35 is perfect for the narrow body cars to run the widest possible tire. I havent seen 205/50/16 be an issue and you may even be able to go 215 depending on your car and what tire you run. At ET40 the inside of the 215s rub the front strut. ET23 on a 7 inch wheel will rub the fenders on a narrow body. Having a 7" wide wheel with shorter tire sidewall is a huge handling upgrade over stock.
