Title: et50 offset to far off for gti t ?
Post by: aaran on 12 March 2010, 12:40

any issues running an et 50 alloy wheel on a mk4 gti turbo guys? 16x7 or will these foul the arch lip. think calliper clearance will be fine with them :) (stock 282mm brakes)

won't foul the arch lip as it will sit about half a mile inside the arch

Smaller number = bigger poke

Bigger number = more tuck

You could run spacers, I am guessing they are Scooby rims.

and if they are Subaru rims, the centre bore's not big enough :sad:

Plus the bolts holes need drilling out.

nope.

im from a jap backround and just seen this set of wedsport rims up near me i should be getting tommorow

will look good sanded and polished up, not to bothered about the center bore as i can have them machined out if needs be, any reccomendations for a good set of cheap spacers? would 10-15mm do it as im thinking it might foul the calliper, that is assuming the offset relates to the wheel face and not the wheel lip

10 -15mm spacers would just about get you a stock ET

You'd need at least 20mm to make it look half decent
