just brought a new up but hate the plastic wheel trims, look through alloys for weeks an decided i want some 3sdm 0.05 16" 8j but they have a offset of 25, i know that the up has a 35 an therefore they will stick out more but im just wondering weather they would fit or not? any input is appreciated

I'm pretty sure I've seen 17x8 ET20s sit alright. A little bit of poke, but perfectly legal.
Only issue would be getting really low, otherwise, they'll sit just fine I'm sure.

I had 7.5" (not J, J is not the width but the tyre bead profile) wide ET23 wheels on my up! and they poked out of the arches by about 10mm.

Your 8" ET25 will poke about a further 5mm

thanks, guys. thinking about lowering it but id get coilvers so id be able to adjust it. an if there was too much poke i thought about getting the arches rolled slightly. would you recommend?

Arches come pre-rolled on an up! There's no lip at the rear, and only a 5mm one at the front.

I wouldn't recommend pulling the arches due to the flat-sided design of them, it'll just look odd.

Buy wheels that fit better.
