as per title, i really need t osort out some new wheels. was looking at Lenso bsx's in 15. but car is dropped 60mm front and 40mm rear but not on coils. i have no clue about what offset i want/need and i dont wana scrape the arches and i dont wana change to coils either.
Fronts....Size: 15x7.0 ET20
Rears.....Size: 15x7.0 ET38
any clues guys

To be honest et38 with 195/50/15's all round would be a good choice you could always run a 10mm spacer on the rear if you wanted.

so sounds like rubbing may not happen?

Et20 will rub, et38 will be fine :smiley:
-
so would running ET38 front and rear work best for me?

I was about to start a new thread about spacers and offsets but i'll just hijack this one instead :tongue:
I'm running standard gti wheels, how much can I space the rears without them going beyone the arch? Rubbing the arch won't be an issue because i'll adjust the coilover to suit. I was thinking 25-30mm possibly???

If you running 195's then 10 to 15mm max, 205's 5mm max.

195's, thats about what I was thinking, looks like 15mm's will be ordered :afro:
I was talking about overall width above btw, so should have said 12-15mm not 25-30mm :rolleyes:

Yes because that is what is recommended as the correct offset!
