hi there
i used to have a mk2 16valve i discovered that by putting on an ET45, which is actually a vauxhall offset,i was able to drop the car right down with out any major problems.i was running on 17 / 7.5 wide stil auto,s. a lot of vw drivers always wondered how i got my car so low without scobing.by using the ET45 offset there is virtually no clearance on the inside of the tyre and the rear subframe,but u can get away with it.However u need to be sure that the 16valve doesn,t use wider or different size hubs than a driver.let me know how u get on m8
