Doesnt matter if the link doesn't work. with an offset of 42 you have no chance . I ordered a set of wheels with a 30ET and was told they would fit. they didn't. IMHO you need 25ET to even stand a chance of clearing the Brembos. Remember with offset the smaller the number the further it sits out from the hub.

Its not really about offset. The shape of the spokes has more to do with whether the alloys clear the brembos. Curvy spokes like the OE wheels have a better chance of clearing than straight ones. This is why the alloy suppliers have real trouble saying definitively whether they will fit.

Alystew,remember 18" Urban Racers with a 37 offset fit perfectly without spacers,it`s a lot to do with the shape of the spokes too

Cosmo is right, I tried on a warehouseful of alloys with the same offset, some were close to fitting with a 2mm spacer, some were a mile off needing a 20mm+ spacer. It's all about spoke shape.

those above will never fit, looks like they need studs, not bolts to fit them nice though
