I am in the market for some wheels for my 7 with -SE bolt pattern. I would like a 15x7 wheel that I don't have to use spacers with. If I remember correctly I need a wheel with roughly a +40 offset. Is that correct?

Does anyone know of any available new or used? I use this car mostly on the track and auto-x but it isn't a dedicated racer.

I found these that I think would look nice

OS Mesh - ROTA Wheels

Any input is appreciated.

do you have any photos showing the wheels in the wheel well? How close are you from the front springs with the +35? I run -2 camber

Plenty of clearance from the front springs. Backspacing is as important as offset.

ya that looks good! Backspacing and offset are directly related. If you say +35 is 5.31" of backspacing, then more offset is more backspacing. Similarly less offset is less backspacing. It is almost like inches and centimeters. They are different units of measure.

Sort of, but to be clear, they are only related when talking about the same width wheel. A 5" rim with +35 offset will have a 4.4" backspace but a 7" rim with a +35 offset will have a 5.4" backspace.
