MK3 Golf Offset Query

[MK4D4VE]

Hi

I know this has probably been answered a million times previously but using the sear i cant find a definitive answer, but can anyone actually tell me the offset required for an alloy wheel to sit flush on the MK3, for both 7j and 8j wide wheels?

Thanks

David

Around 30 on the front and 25 on the back.

Around 30 on the front and 25 on the back.

This Remember to take into account the size of adaptors/spacers if you are using them. Eg, offset 40 wheel with 20mm spacer = final offset of 20.

You need 35 offset for 8J and 35 to 38 for 7.5J .

I have 7j alloy wheels and I had them made with offset of ET20 and they sit flush and front a about 10mm from being flash at the rear.

and my 8Js ET18 poke about 10mm on the back, not tried them on the front
