I just bought some exim mesh rims for a steal and I'm wondering what I'd need to mount them. Will I need hubcentrics and spacers?
The dimensions are 13x6 with a 4x100 bolt pattern and ET13 (13mm offset?)

Re: Wheel offset questions
best way to find out for sure is get the tires you want for it, the correct rolling dia is the most important asepct of tire size. Than mount them and see if you rub anywhere after you drive it. Than choose the spacer as required to minimize rubbing.
if you want to do a "proper job" of determining offset you dismantle the strut and remove the spring, put it back together. With the car up on a rack, you raise and lower each wheel, in various steering positions, and see if there are any clearance issues. Determine offset, or to clearance the fenders, wheel wells, etc as required. not as easy as the trial and error method, but usually what has to be done if you make a lot of changes to the suspention, off-set, fenders, etc.

Re: Wheel offset questions
Do you know what the stock offset for the oem rims are? I'm searching around Google and the forum but can't find a definitive answer. My 20 spokes don't have any markings on them hence my confusion.
I'll test fit them when I get my winter set
