Whats the curent offset? My 1.6 Dynamique alloys were ET43, and I have fitted ET37 OZ Super-Ts.
If the offset is going down, you don't need spacers, if you were increasing the offset, that is when you need spacers.

will be fine, im running offset 28
most 172/182's run an offset of et38 which will widen the track on yours slightly but I have et40's on the 1.2 and I have no problems or heard of any either at the mo.
The lower the no. the wider the wheel.
If you put et35 on you will probably rub on the front and you might catch on the back arch if it's lowered as you will have to fit a wider tyre in there.
i.e 205/40/17 or 215/35/17 for example.

Incorrect: The lower the number the more the wheel will come out towards the arch. et35 will move the wheel 5mm further out than et40. If the wheel is wider than existing i.e. 6.5J instad of 6J then a lower offset is better because the extra width will be more on the outside and so less likely to catch the inside edge of the tyre on the arch liner. Offset does not directly affect the tyre size.

Ive got et35 and my spokes touch the calipers, so need to buy 3mm or 5mm spacers.
Thats due to wheel design, not offset though. Your standard wheels would have been even closer to calipers than what you have now.

will check that ^^^
