Title: will these alloys fit?
Post by: cas-01 on 07 September 2013, 22:01
Can some one enlighten me as to whether the Audi TT Quattro sport alloys will fit my Golf mk1v TDi 130. the wheels are 18" which is fine but the offset is 26 and i am told this may be a problem  :undecided:

Yeah there there miles away, the bloke at the shop bombarded me with numbers and said maybe i should find some others, but they are awesome wheels and never seen them on a golf, even on the inter web.

yep every thing fits except the offset = +26, which i've been told may be a problem ? Golfs are normally +35 but all this offset crap is melting my brain  :shocked:

Standard wheels are actually et42 :wink:

Wheels that are et26 will 'poke' 16mm more than wheels that are et42 (assuming that they are the same width).

The QS wheels will fit fine, are they staggered widths? I'm sure I heard somewhere that they are

when you say staggered i assume you mean different offsets between front and rear ? and on the Audi they are, 25 front and 26 rear, but that estate doesn't look like they stick out that much ?

Staggered as in different widths front and rear, I'm sure they were 8" front and 8.5" rear.

They will be fine, doubt they are et26, et36 would be my guess.
