Help Required
« on: 11 December 2013, 21:34 »
Hi, I'm looking at changing my wheels on my Golf Mk4 V5.

Now trying to understand if i change the PCD to 5x112 from 5x100, how the ET of the wheel effects the size of the adaptors i would need.  :undecided:

Im getting myself confused here, so hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

A quick example - if you decide on ET35 wheels, using 15mm adaptors will make them ET20

Generally 15mm is the narrowest adaptors you buy and you won't want a final offset of much less than et20 front and et15 rear (wheel width dependant).

That means the 5x112 wheels need to be et35 or higher and not stupidly wide.
