Sorry John! The older cars are lucky, and came with closer to 40mm offset stock, the FWD wheels(850s anyway) came with 43mm offsets... I'll have to go look up cetus wheels to see what they look like, but by all means, if they were offered for free, TAKE THEM. Can't hurt anything. If they already have tires on them, worn out or not, you can still bolt them up and see how they look, then decide on the size of tires you want to fit, if you like the look.

140s have the problem of rubbing on the inside fender when REALLY low and fitted with wide tires on 43mm wheels going over bumps. Otherwise, they work fine and dandy on 140s. Should work pretty much just as fine and dandy on the 1800. Oh, and another thing, when turning at full lock, if you have larger swaybars, it is possible for your front tires to rub against the swaybar...
