Palace - now!
Glad your back. Love to hear the tales and woes of the trip.

As for off set and fitmant - a bit of playing is required.
Use this calculator.

Comparing a 6" 30 ET with a 7" 45 ET you are 28 mm furter in.
But you need to work out how much clearance your existing wheel has both on the inside and outside.
Measure what clearance you have now - inside from the springs etc and outside from the lip.

Futue te ipsum!!!

spacers and/or longer studs is a messy and exy way to go...get a set of merc wheels or late model falcon(some machining) 35-37 ET
