et35 means they'll stick out from the car, so no need for spacers :)
You may have outer arch clearance issues though, especially with a 7" wide wheel.
[edit] I ran et38 6.5" wide Oz wheels on my old hatch. Needed rolled arches on the back and the fronts were mightily close. That was lowered 60F/50R on spax stuff.
I think Ash's black TD wheels are 7" wide, and et38 - they'll sit 3mm further in than yours. I think he had Ok clearance though, again will rolled arches.
well i had 17" J7 Et35 on the saloon, and they did not even fit, on a hatch you have no chance lol
oh dear.. i maye have to try them tomora, if not i'l refurb and sell on..
I think 35 is pushing it. My OZ's are 38 and you need to remove ALL the lip on the back to get them on lol
You'll need arch work 100%.
Et35 and 7j is asking for trouble,Lol.
Rear arch rolling might sort it

what size tyres would i need to get the "stretched" afect? my mates got his own tyre place, i could "borrow" a trye see if it works
well 205's dont fit lol
On a 7 inch rim, a 185 would probably create the desired effect :)
what profile? 50?
Yup
right am of to ring him see if hes got any part worns lol
stretched tyres on those rims would look a little weird :tard:
i once tried a set of ET38 7x16. there was no way in hell would they fit under standard arches
ive got 205s on an 8
185s will be going on next
so on a 7 id say 175 0r 165 40s
I run a set of Wolfrace Voodoo's which are a 7" wide 16" rim.
However they have a 42mm offset which works better. Even so when I had my arches replaced I got the bodyshop to pull them out a bit as clearance was still an issue even on a 42mm offset.
I think you will stuggle big style (sorry)
