they will fit straight on my clipper but they are wider that standard - will the poke out to much or rub on the bodykit!? its standard suspension at the moment.
i struggle with offsets, et, widths, tyre sizes - jesus - its a minefield!
id like to test fit them but thats out of the question due to me being unable to drive at the mo!!!
thanks again.

They won't rub if you're on standard sus.
They'll be perfect.

Well apart from the mis use of the 'J' once again……..
I'm perplexed by the sizing rears 7x5 rears 8x0? Unless he means 7.5 inches wide and 8.0 inches wide?
Are you running standard wheels at the moment?
Try this
Alloy Wheel and Tyre Fitment Calculator. Offset, Tyre Stretch and Speedo Error | Will They Fit
Then do a bit of measuring on the car.

i missed out on those wheels but found another set of BBS RMs 15" et 33 -
fronts 6.5 (185/45/15 tyres)
rears 8.5 (195/45/15)
with chrome radinox dishes
Will the et be the same if they have fitted deeper lips on the rears?
Guess the rears are tad too wide?

No, the ET will reduce once you fit a 2" wider dish.

There is a guy on here called richievr I think it is, he has bbs rm's with wider rear dishes. He would know if 8.5's would fit. I think if your lowered you would need arch mods
