Thanks, the link is really helpful and the wheels look good. Would the FF1s be a direct fit on the hub/same borehole etc. When i look on the Borbett website it mentions two different offsets - 35mm and 45mm which totally baffles me. Would i need the 35 or 45 for the GTI?
If it were me I’d go for 8x18 and 45mm front and 35mm rear offset with 225/40/18 tyres. They’ll all sit reasonably flush that way.
They make them in 57.1 centre bore too so don’t even need spigot rings. Plus the bolt holes should be wide enough to use the original nut caps which is rare with aftermarket wheels.
