      OMG noobz leading teh noobz! Why don't you check out the handy-dandy "Wheel and tire fitment" thread in this same section and use the amazing search function!

      You'll want a 10mm spacer or so, FYI...

          well I was just simply answering his question...same et, so it will extend .75 inches towards both inside and out. I could be wrong; I just used this http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

          Fill in the old width and et and the new width and et...you'll get 19mm both ways. 19mm=.748 inches. Oh no! run from the noobz! You have to be on the forums for years before you can answer questions!

          That being said, you will need a 10mm ish spacer so not to rub suspension pieces as Fidhle posted.

            Haha, relax. I was mainly making fun of the OP for posting a wheel fitment question right underneath one of the most comprehensive fitment threads on the internet.

            And to be fair, you have 8 posts and have an MB reference in your screen name... ;)

                            et35 is a bit on the high side. Most people run + size wheels closer to an et20-25 offset. So that is where you would be using a spacer to put the wheel out there.

                            Wider wheels at stock offsets will rub perches and strut tubes etc.

                            Read the wheel fitment thread. Your Q's are answered in there 10 times over.
