Title: wheel offsets
Post by: mk3steve on 12 January 2006, 22:43

I need help! i own a vw golf mk3 but recently came off the road in icy conditions. All is well but im in need of new alloys wheels. On ebay i've found a nice set of BMW Split rims for 3 series Alpina. Only problem is: Will the offset be the same??? a rear wheel drive to a front wheel drive may differ, but if so how do people have porsche alloywheels on their vw's

Also going to be selling 2 Lenso 17inch RS5's with sprayed black spokes and polished outa rim....
If anyone can help let me no...

bit of variation and wheel pcds are different across the board.

Simple answer no. unless you get adaptors made up even then i am not sure.
