Not much help here!
I run ET38 and ET35 with some small spacers!
Owners have had issues in the past! ...... https://www.gtiroc.com/threads/wheel-fitment-pictures.89603/post-532345

Yeah, was afraid of that. Although my rears are 8j ET 35 with 10mm spacers and they only just about rub on really hard cornering since I rolled the arches.
Hmmm... I’ve got my eye on some wheels. 14” like standard but my other issue is whether they’ll clear my Wilwoods.
Thanks for this Andy.

What size are your Wilwoods?

They are 4 pots if that’s what you mean? Currently on 16s and there is a lot of room between the top and bottom of calliper and inner rim but I just don’t know if it’s enough.

You're not wrong there but i'm hoping i can get a circle to fit into a square.
Any reason you want to go down in size wheel wise?
Just thinking of tyre options at 14" wheels?
Will there be any good brands/compunds at that size?

Check my 15's yesterday for clearance and there is at least 15mm radial clearance so you might get away with it depending on where the wheel weights have to go.
I think it will depend if the offset is in the spoke or dish or mounting face as to if it will clear. If it is the spoke or mounting face you will potentially be ok.

what calipers are you running?

So, PCD 4 x 100 / 60mm centre bore (pulsar is 59.1?) ET 20. Inner rim is 300mm. I’m pretty sure the wilwoods will fit.
it’s just the ET that’s stopping me but currently my Rotas are ET 35 with 20mm spacers on the front and there’s no rubbing. I think I’ll get away with it on the front. No problems for caliper clearance on the back. Rears are 8j with 10mm spacers with a negative camber of about 5mm and there’s nearly no rubbing at all. I think with a slimmer tyre I could get away with this.
famous last words.
I think I‘m going to make an offer.

Hopefully you can send them back without much hassle!
