what offset should I buy?

[Tucker82]

Looking to get some new wheels next week, and was wondering what offset is going to look more planted? If im right -ET35 being rim with the most poke? Whats the best offset for a mk4?

Also - Im going for 5x100 8J with 225 40 18's. What can I lower it by if it doesn't look right when I get the wheels on? With too much poke and too much of a drop, I don't want to risk arch rubbing!

Thanks Guys

get ET35 then play with spacers to get it exactly to your taste IMO

Well I do want alot of poke as I want the car to have a wide stance intrue golf style!

So what ET would give me the good poke?

Thanks

I was thinking Et35's so will go with them, then see if I want to fit spacers once their on...

cheers fella's

It depends what width wheel your going with to and your tyre size, whether your having a stretched tyre or not, ive got 8j wide with 215/40/18 tyres et35 r32 reps and thinking of 20mm spacers either side at the back and its lowered a fair bit.
