offset on Prets are 50mm so these stick out 9mm in comparison, my aftermarket wheels are 45 in same width


Might be a bit much then? They'd sit flush-ish with the top of the arch but might stick out a bit from the body?


Although i've seen people with 15mm+ spacers on Austins which look ok, i'm so confused!!  :-\

There's an extra 6mm of poke with the Motorpsort rims due to the extra rim width (8J compared to 7.5J), plus the extra 9mm offset so a total of 15mm wider  :)

Just to add the seller of these is round the corner from me and I've used them many times, huge parts place attached to Crewe Audi  :)


15mm wider than Prets?? :o

15.35mm wider to be precise lol  :laugh:

That's assuming Prets are indeed 7.5x19 et50 compared to the Motorsport rims at 8x19 et 41

The outer edge will be in exactly (within 1mm) the same place as with a 8.5" ET45 rim which is the recommended fitment of a lot of aftermarket rims.

chuck the data in there and it'll tell you.

Basically the outer edge will be 15mm further out than standard.

These wheels will fit the mk7 no problem.
Whether they'll suit it is another matter as the wheels are quite hooped and the mk7 is quite angular.
There was one guy who had a set on the R forum in silver I think but I can't find the photos now.
