EM2 offset
I'm gonna be getting some wheels on a 205/40-17 tyre.
I know the offset for an EM2 is et45, but a wheel im looking at comes in et40 only.
Its not a lot of difference, but would i be ok with an et40?
Anybody run et40's?
(I did use the search function for this but turned up nothing for "EM2 offset" or "offset EM2" etc)
Thanks guys
(these are the wheels http://www.rochfordtyres.co.uk...ID=94)
What do you all think? Reckon they'll suit an SSM EM2? I think they'll look awesome.
Your opinions?

finally!
cheers matt.
The reason im going for a 205/40-17 is simply for extra room to dump my beloved on its coilovered **** (eventually), create a tiny bit more clearance for lock-to-lock and limit arch scrape when i'm caning it.
Also, the Falken tyres i always use have a small footprint and aggressive shoulder angle for that vital couple of extra millimetres.
Sounds like nonsense but in the past ive gone from the Falken ZE512s that i now tend to stick to, to other brands (of an identical size) and gone from NO scrubbing with the 512s to quite obvious scrubbing with the others. (which were Toyos and goodyears btw)
I know the ZE512 aren't the best tyre in the world but then i'm not a racing driver and they do me just fine.

lol
i prefer the slimmer look of a 205 myself.
i loved the bone jarring ride and body control of my previous EM1 with 205s and rock hard coilovers.

Not when I'm going from 24.5lb rims to 16lb. rims.
Got anything positive to say?
