Title: Wheel offset for GTi?
Post by: mwad gti on 16 February 2014, 19:37

Hi

What is the wheel offset for the GTi please.
I have the chance to buy some Audi wheels as winter wheels which are sized as follows :
5 x 112 offset 45 8j width.

I'm pretty sure they are ET51, meaning in inside lip of the new wheel will be in he same place as the original wheels, give or take a mm.

offset between 40-45 will be fine on 8j

I have 7.5 wide wheels with an ET of 45 fitted at present and the fronts are only just covered by the arches, the rears are fine though, so not sure about 8", perhaps it depends on the wheel.

The insides will be in the same place, the outer lip will have 1/2" more poke. You can measure off the face of your current wheels to see where the new ones will sit.
