I've worked the numbers and really think the wheels I've picked will work. However, I'd be grateful if I could get some of you who might know better to confirm this before I make the investment. I want to install TSW Crofts on my C32 with the following specs.
http://www.rimsntires.com/wheel.jsp?...SW&model=Croft
Front: 18x8.0 5x112 ET32 or 18x8.0 5x112 ET45
Rear: 18x9.5 5x112 ET35
The calculator I used came up with the following:
1mm less inner clearance / 11mm extension for the front setup with ET32
14mm less inner clearance / 2mm retraction for the front setup with ET45
14mm less inner clearance / 12mm extension for the rear setup
I would prefer to use the ET45 configuration up front to keep the look as close to stock as possible but have no idea if there's a half inch in the wheel well to accommodate it. Any help is appreciated folks. Thanks.

If its any help to you, here is my setup:
18x8.5 et32 front
18x9.5 et35 rear
My rear tires are stretched slightly, but I'm not sure that its a needed stretch. (245 tire)

better shot of the fitment

That's more help than I could ask for pww, thanks for the numbers and pictures. I'll be ordering my wheels now.

i would pm Frankw...he's the offsets expert on the forum.
those should fit judging from the design of the spoke and the 18x8 et32 offset.
the 18x8 et45 will not fit.
