Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Facelift cars had 8.0" ET 50 or 52 fronts, and 5mm spacers were also allowed. 8.5" ET 52 would stick out another 8mm.

I would say keep looking for the correct size. If they do scrub the arches it could be an expensive mistake.
