With the std Fitment being 7.5" ET51 5x112

I am trying to find out if a 7.5" wheel Et48 but with 20mm spacers (needed all round to convert pcd) would fit without clearance issuses?

I think the rear will be fine, it's the fronts I think may pose a problem?

Advice? Thanks

Mike

The photo below shows my TFSi running 18x8, ET35 wheels with 225.40.18s. As you can see, they are pretty much on the limit in relation to the arches. Your proposed wheels will have a final ET of 28 which would make them sit 7mm further out. You don't mention the size or width of the wheel or the size of the tyres but unless they are 7.5 inch wheels with narrowish tyres I think you are going to be out of the arches
