!PLEH
« on: 06 May 2009, 20:59 »
I'm in the process of getting these put on my mk3 anf i'm at the stage where i need to order the adapters.

Now i know i need the 4x100 to 5x130 but what sort of width should i be going for, 30mm? 40mm?

Two of them are 7x16 with an offset of 65

Two are 8x16 with an offset of 52,3

I think i'd like the fronts to maybe just sit flush with the arch, or ever so slightly protrusive. The rears i'd just like to be blatant and stick right out of the car! Any images etc i'd be gratefull too

I would run 30mm to be honest.

If its got arch trims id go for 35mm front, 30mm rear to give the desired effect your looking for.

My 25mm front with 8j wheels have a bit of tuck. id like 30mm on the front now.

The only trouble is that would leave your rear offset at around 12.5 which is going to need arch work.
