What are the wheel offsets for an 850 T5 estate please? I've found that the PCD i 108mm but I can't find what are my outer and iner limitations of offset on the car. Please can someone help? I'm desperate to get a set of wheels.

Thanks Andy, I have no idea why I couldn't find that.

Probably because there doesn't seem to be much info out there on this. Most wheel suppliers just seem to say "tell us what style you wnat and we'll send the right fitment to you".

Try this too - a calculator to calculate the effect of changing wheel / tyre size.

iirc I thought the offset was bigger than this (meaning wheels sill be placed further towards the centre of the car with bigger numebrs...) - around 47mm? don't quote me, just what i seem to remember

offset is the measure from the centre point of the wheel width, so the numbers will vary depending the width of the wheels. Typically, for 6.5" the offsets are 50-52mm, 42-45mm for 7", 35-42mm for 7.5" and 30-40mm for 8".

My 18x8.5 are 10mm rear and 15mm front, but I really had to modify the wings to prevent rubbing.

Did you get any wheels as I still have mine for sale and they could do with a good home:
