Got my OZ SuperT GTs, but they sent me the wrong offset!

Hello!

Got my wheels & tyres today, all ready to put onto the car, but I noticed something that may be a problem. Basically, I have got the OZ wheels with 195/45 VR16 tyres on them, but the wheel offset is et42. Now if Im correct arent the original 172 Mk2 wheels with an offset of et48.5? Is this going to be a problem??

PS:- The car is riding on Eibach Pro springs which lowers the car a teeny weeny bit (about 15mm). Also, Ive got Aurora K103 tyres on them - how rubbish are they?

wheels will fit no problem..
"Aurora K103 tyres " - never heard of them.. take it easy with the right foot fella!

Cheers.

Im going from Michelin PE2s to these cheapo tyres, and as thedoc advises, I reckon I should take it easy! Perhaps I ought to get these tyres replaced with quality stuff and sell these cheapos.

These Auroras are actually Hankooks apparently.

I have the same wheels and tyre size with an offset of et43 and they appear to be fine.
