Help With Alloys
« on: 27 March 2006, 13:21 »
Hello!  :smiley:

Im a new member to this forum and just wanted a little bit of help. Ive got a Mk2 Golf 16v 1989. I want to put ATS Cup wheels on it but im a little confused about which offset to choose?  :undecided:
There's 7x15, et 28, 4x100
and 7x15, et 20, 4x100

I want that deep dish euro look but obviously dont want the wheels to rub on the inner arch or the wing. I also have G60 arches fitted.
Also how do you peeps rate the ats cup alloys.

Any help grately recieved!

Cheers.
Stevo

If you have the original alloys on your car you could take one off and the offset should be stamped into the back of the wheel near the hub it should have the diameter, the width and the offset around the center

If you have "proper" g60 wings arches then both should fit with no probs ,
the et 20 ones will stick out further than the et28,
the ats cups are a nice rim if you like buy em :wink:

what he means is the g60's (not rallye's) had rolled arches from the factory as they ran wide track running gear. but both sets will fit and as has been said, the et20 will stick out further.

my opinion though is that ats cups look too small on a mk2 unless they are bloody wide with a serious dish! thats only my opinion though....... :P
