Agreed..65 offset would pull the wheels in, I think you might be backwards on how you're thinking offset numbers work..the higher the number the more inbound the wheel will sit..lower number, the more it protrudes out. Your 40ET on the OZ wheels would have the rear wheel stick out 25mm more than the carrera wheels if they were truly an ET of 65. Something doesn't seem right out back?
I've spent a lot of time calculating wheels in the past to make them fit. Johnny Danger seems to be wheel guru in here, I would have some chats with him before you order another set of rims!
