Do you mean the offset or the wheel spoke clearance??

If it's the offset then it's the following:

8JX18 ET:47 for the fronts (+47mm offset)
9JX18 ET:26 for the rears (+26mm offset)

If it's spokes clearance then you'll need to provide where you want the measurement taken relative to the centre of the wheel.

Hmmm.

Well that is 17.7 inches so I don't fancy your chances.

The 355mm 6 pot AP kit only just squeezes in there (some people have had to remove wheel balancing weights to make them fit).

My 18" go over my APs without a drama, however I haven't changed the tyres since they arrived, hence someone could have put the weights on carefully...
