MK1 trackday car lowered (not excessivley) on coilovers. Looking at getting 15 inch wheels and cladding in 195/50/15 trackday (Nankangs probably or Federals).
I know stock 15 inch wheels are 6J et45, 4x100. Some wheels I'm looking at are 6.5J et35, I can't get my head round the offset and whether the variation in offset helps equalise the difference in width or makes it worse?
Anyway, would 6.5J et35's 'work'?
Many thanks.

15 x 6.5 ET35 will be fine, even if you were exceptionally low. Mine are 15 x 7 ET30 and clear with plenty of space

I love posting this picture. These are 6.5"wide 15" wheels on 195/50 tyres. ET35. 5mm spacing rear, 10mm spacing front, all for calliper clearance rather than arch clearance - Bags of space...  |

 15x7 ET28 with 195/50 R888's Nowhere near as low as I could go, but it doesn't rub at all. |

12.7kg according to my bathroom scales
Is that good or bad?

Anything under 13KG is good on 15"s in my book (14" and 13" wheels can get even lighter..)
It's very easy to get 15KG+ combos on 15"s wheels.

My track wheels 15kg's  they're a bit wider though (and this was new DMACK's) But the grip is more important for me. |
