49mm offset, and yes they will fit, but you will need to roll your arches (front and rear) and also get very low profile tyres (205's etc)

Oh...

And i forgot to mention the inner arch mods = fucking nightmare.... you've also got the problem of brake lines (am i right?) and also you wheels catching on a suspension component...

Correct me if i'm wrong lad's, but i think i'm right...

Cheers

I put 15 inch evo r's on mine the other day and et 49 doesnt exist for these wheels. The nearest offset is et40 which will be fine for 17's as these will avoid the inner arches. Ull need to fold your arch lips and stick a jack between your inner and outer arches to make em wide enough though.

I`ve fitted et45 17`s to mine and they rubbed the rear wheel buckets badly, go for et 35 but be warned you`ll need to majorly modify your rear inner arch and 1/4 panel
