I was about to start a new thread about spacers and offsets but i'll just hijack this one instead  :tongue:

I'm running standard gti wheels, how much can I space the rears without them going beyone the arch? Rubbing the arch won't be an issue because i'll adjust the coilover to suit. I was thinking 25-30mm possibly???

If you running 195's then 10 to 15mm max, 205's 5mm max.

195's, thats about what I was thinking, looks like 15mm's will be ordered :afro:

I was talking about overall width above btw, so should have said 12-15mm not 25-30mm  :rolleyes:

so would running ET38 front and rear work best for me?


Yes because that is what is recommended as the correct offset!
