Moderator's Note: Thread moved to correct Forum

As Gene has said, and for clarity, an ET (offset) of between 10 mm (for wide, say 7 inch wheels) and 35 mm (for 5 inch rims). WAY more discussion and such here in the "Wheels and Tires" Forum.

I think we need to establish which model we are talking about, here.
In most cases, the wheels shouldn't matter *too much* but the Kadetts and the Asconas are slightly different. I only say this through experience... If you go with 15" wheels there will be no issues.
