Default Wheel fitment gurus required

Hi all

I have a 1997 940 LPT wagon. I also have some dished steelies.

I think I already know the answer to this but here goes anyway.

The wheels are 15X8 with a negative 35 offset and I would need adapters to alter the PCD which will add an extra 20mm. Will they fit with stretched tyres? Arches have already been rolled.

Thanks in advance

you will need 20-25mm spacers to get them to clear

Yeah, the adapters will space them out 20mm. I'm just not sure they won't stick out too far past the arches...

If you have ET15 they should easily fit with rolled arches, you shouldn't need too much of a stretch especially on 16's unless you are running it stupid low.
i have the same fitment except 17"

What do we reckon? Will they be OK with stretched tyres? Like I said, arches have been rolled...
