Alloy wheel offset question

[JackJack]

Right...

After finding out one of my alloy wheels (An RS4 replica) has a crack in it, i've decided it would be safer to buy a new one rather then get it repaired after doing some internet research.

I've only owned the car about 3 weeks and the alloys were already on the car when I bought it so I dont know where they're from or anything.

I've found a single alloy on Ebay that I assume is the correct fit, 17" etc but I'm not sure what offset I'll need. The Ebay one has an offset of 35.

Would this fit correctly or is there a way of finding out what offset my current alloys are?

Sorry I'm a complete idiot when it comes to things like this 

Thanks in advance, Jack

standard ofset is between 38 & 43 however 35 is fine although you may get rubbing depending how low your running

The size and offset should be stamped on your wheel somewhere.

I'll be surprised if yours are 7.5" wide. Think my mates RS4 replicas are only 7", So if you see a bit of writing saying something like '7j x 17' then you'll know the correct width of your wheels.

When looking for the offset, it should be the letters 'ET' followed by a number.

For example, if your wheels say '7.5j x 17 ET35' then the wheel you're looking at will be fine, otherwise you'll buy it and have an odd wheel

Alright thanks alot, I'll have to check it in the morning it's a bit dark at the moment

Plus, before I forget, where is the best place to buy single alloys? most places online come in sets of 4 and I dont really want to shell out on a new kit

[VR6-Joe]

Yeah just examine the wheel carefully mate and write down all the numbers you see on a piece of paper and then put them on here, I'm sure one of us can work it all out for you.

Best place for a spare wheel - probably ebay or a scrappy I'm afraid

Et35 will be ok and as a guess your reps will be the same offset.

Tomorrow I'll get all the letters numbers etc I can find and take a photo to help 

Thanks guys. I'm new here I should really introduce myself sometime ha.
