The perfect wheel fitment
So I am looking at a brand new set of wheel (cades apollos) and I want to make sure they fit just right, what J and offset is the best looking and most practical thanks in advance

Re: The perfect wheel fitment
Yes, 9.5 is likely to cause issues with the sliding door. Not to say its impossible but not a bolt on mod. Best looking and practical don't often go hand in hand!
What size wheel were you thinking of? 18s, 19s, 20s? 8.5 et45 on a 19" wheel is a good starting point, but even then you still have to be careful of other factors like brake caliper clearance if the spokes are too concave and the sliding door if the spokes stick out - Rotiform Six spring to mind.

Re: The perfect wheel fitment
The wheels I am looking at are between cades Apollo 19” either 8.5 or 9.5 J et 38/45 or else lenso alphards 18” with little concave at all (not an option in those alloys)
