Ok I know the rim PCD is 114.3 x 5.
I can get some decent rims cheap, what I need to know is what offset can the magna's use I have a TF.

The wheels are 16x7 with a offset of 40+ would these be ok?

Any help appreciated

I though it was 50 for a magna...

I thought that as long as you stick to positive offset that is reasonably close to your vehicle's value, handling should still be okay.

I thought it was putting negative offset rims on positive offset cars that caused a problem (or vice versa). :nuts:

Anyways, even if the rims are a +40 offset and the Magna is designed at +50 offset, then I wouldn't forsee too much problem with it. Just remember - you need a 4 wheel alignment with new rims....
