Tethys 17" rims on to an 850 (17 spoke)

These are originally for the S60 and have slightly different offset than the Columba that is currently on my 850. +1" wider, +7mm greater offset. My rough calculations is about +3/4" on the inward side, +1/2" on the outward side, compared to my Columbas. Otherwise should fit (same pattern and hub size)

Has anyone else put these on a 850 and experienced rubbing? good fit?

ET 50?
Nope!
ET 49 is the highest offset which can fit 850 and NOT wider than 205 tyre with this ET.

No problem if you install spacers.

Pretty common in the UK, with spacers. Still rubs on full lock though, even with C70 lock-stops.
