Your original offset is ET50/54 so if you fit wheels with a et of 38mm you will move the wheel out by 12/14mm.

Factor in any extra width and you may have some rubbin`

Yep, thats me.

Most of the applications for 8" wide BBS wheels are over and ET of 44mm for the MK5. Some of the LM`s with an ET of 32mm applications suggest "substantial car modification are necessary".
