Ok, so i've searched the forums and concluded that ET38 will fit. IT was saying an offset of +38, does this mean that anything 38 and above will fit, and nothing under? Is that the same for wheels of 15", 16" and 17"?
thanks, zep

ET38 is a good size, but you can use other sizes, just dont go to High or low. Im not sure what the limits are though.

Match that offset with a decent width wheel and the tyre will scrape the gaurd.

By "that" offset do you mean +25 or +38. Coz without the pos 38 offset you cant get 17"s under the gemi guards without problems.

By "that" I meant ET25 offset. I had ET38 with 6 1/2 inch (I think) wide wheels and they had plenty of room on both sides, at one point I had 215's on the back with room to go bigger.

I running 17x7.5" All round with 42mm Offset and they dont rub(Only Full Lock Slighty) and my Gem is 10mm Off Bump Stops and I dont have a Adjustable Panhard Rod or Flared Guards(Slight Inner Rolling of Guard only).
But as everyone said to got 16' or bigger ya need at least 38mm offset, I prefer 40mm-45mm. But having a Offset like that there is a Problem with ya Tyre hitting the Shock when Jacked Up, But the do clear by a Country Mile when Back on the Ground.
