Depends which offset your wanting.From what Ive searched in other threads, the higher the et the better.Since there 17x7" maybe the 40et would be best.You might need spacers maybe also.

Also, when fitting aftermarket wheels to a bay, you've got to consider how large the center cap needs to be to clear that huge bearing cap on the spindles...His ad mentions fitting them on type 2s with 5-112, so maybe they're engineered to fit right on. I know those 5-112 BRMs require a ridiculous center cap to clear. You should email him.
