Camber can also help with clearance .

215 is a little wider than average for our cars, so you'll rub easier than if you had the normal 205.

- Tue Dec 15, 2009 8:06 am #161951 i found my wheels on http://www.rimstock.co.uk/rimstockuk/wheelrange.php

it gives a table of:

Size Offset
6.5 x 15 e+38/45
7.0 x 16 e+38/45
7.0 x 17 e+38/45
7.5 x 18 e+37/45
7.5 x 20 e+37/45



i have 16 inch so i guess its 7.0 x 16 e+38/45
