Not sure how its calculated but the less the number the more it will stick out. I think some vw wheels are 5x100 +30 so you should look at some of them.
I was sure there used to be a note on WRC Spares webpage saying... stop bothering us and asking if these will fit roadcars as the hubs/PCD and offset are way off compared to roadcars. I'll ring em tomorrow and find out though! Where did you get he 60-95 price Niall? And is that for the 8 x 18 Magnesium 6 spoke Speedlines?
Haven't spoken to him in about 6 weeks since he shipped my 1/4 panels. I wouldn't worry... he can be a little hard to contact and a little forgetful. Best calling him and chasing him a bit... he was manic and said he'd be like that for a while as he got a massive shipment from Prodrive to sort through.

Be careful with going too low an offset as the wheel bearings end up taking the extra pressure and go.

I think the bearings thing isnt as bad as people say. The americans are all doing this and they are saying they've never known of wheel bearing damage due to low offset.
Is the classic offset 48mm??
So a 25mm offset would probably suit your wide arch kit,
So 8"X18 with 25offset and 5X100pcd is what you are looking for!
I still think the S204 would be a nice authentic scooby option!
