So iv got my old alternator of now and got a new one on order the hardest part was getting the rusty bolts out of the bumper to be honest. Only question I have is should this plug that goes into the alternator have another wire in it it looks like there was one

Thanks for you replies does anyone know what offset the standard 16 inch 172 wheels are ? Also would I get away with the 8 inch wide ones ?
