I thought our offset was a +38 mm
I was under the same impression., since you posted this remark in the thread below.
Stock wheels are offset +38mm, which means they're inset 1.5". I'll try to get pics soon of how much I had to trim.
Transio, you posted this thread a while back:

The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. The offset can be one of three types.
Zero Offset
The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.
Positive
The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.
Negative
The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically a negative offset.
If the offset of the wheel is not correct for the car, the handling can be adversely affected. When the width of the wheel changes, the offset also changes numerically. If the offset were to stay the same while you added width, the additional width would be split evenly between the inside and outside. For most cars, this won't work correctly.
I have to order the wheels in the USA so they will have to fit perfectly, cause I probably won't be able to return them.
