What is the offset for the 4.2? 35mm or 40mm? I'm looking at buying 40mm rims. Do I need spacer? ..

Anything bad about spacers? I have the sport package now.

Thanks

What wheel did you decide on?

What wheel did you finally decide on?
I've heard mixed comments about spacers, if they are from reliable source/good quality, should have no issues.

IMHO, you will not be disappointed with the RT's. . .

they are strong, relatively light, and very durable because of their design. Without the wide flat surfaces at the edge of the wheel plane scratches are less noticeable.

I use the RT as a winter wheel 16" and it will look nice in a larger diameter. It looks fine in 16" but would look better if it were larger.

Also, it is easy to replace if one gets damaged. I have been through more wheels for various reasons with this car than all cars I owned combined in the previous ten years.
