    I use 7x13 with ET6 (from Compomotive), this brings the wheel inwards 6mm.

    With ET0 you run the risk of fouling the arch because it sticks out more. Also, sounds counter intuitive but don't be confused by ET-6 & ET(+)6 ..... you want the ET6 because ET-6 sticks out by 6mm more than ET0

    Cheers, i fully understand wheel offset measurements, just wasnt sure what fits the rear of a Mk1 without arch mods, never had a Mk1 only mk2's

    There's slightly more room in mk2 arches. Most people who fit 7's run 175's due to arch clearances.
