| Offset is wrong.

| Is that because of the et40 on the rear? How can I get the deep dish effect as on the rear wheels? |

| I like those a lot - pity they won't fit  Surely there must be a split-rim available that has the correct offset? Steve

| ET40 should be OK - what's an extra 5mm in offset? On second read, I'm not sure the 19" diameter would fit the Fabia though. That's a big mutha of a wheel. |

| ET40 means the centre line of the wheel sits a further 5mm inwards, may cause fouling on the front dampers, I should think coil overs would be needed. |
