Got some ET28 wheels going on the car, 15mm are fine on the front but too much on the rear...Just wondering what anyone else is running as I know the gti180 wheels are the same offset... Just want enough to stop them rubbing the plastic liners ________________________________________ Team Moonstone� Ph3 GTI6Team Rallye |

12mm should be perfect for the rear  though 15mm shouldn't provide much problems (unless your car is slammed...) ________________________________________ Team WheelwhoreTeam Limited Edition Astor 306 Francorchamps RIP Virtual Blue 208 GTi quote: I  this place.

the car is lowered 30mm maybe 35mm... they are either 7j or 7.5 i dont remember...205/40/17 tyres... I was just concerned with the rears catching the outer arch on the 15mm spacers... 12mm is a bit of an arse size and probably expensive... ________________________________________ Team Moonstone� Ph3 GTI6Team Rallye |

less than 12mm will result at rubbing on the inside...Just try 15mm and see what it gives, you can always roll your arches a bit if needed... ________________________________________ Team WheelwhoreTeam Limited Edition Astor 306 Francorchamps RIP Virtual Blue 208 GTi quote: I this place.

I've got Inovit wheels with a 40 offset, using 23mm spacers it just catches on the rear arches and is fine on the front so has a 17 offset in total but they are 8 ¼'' across with the tryes where as I've got another set of 17's which are 8'' wide and has a 15 offset and sit better so it all depends on the wheel!.________________________________________ 306 GTI-6205 GTI-6 Project 205 1.6 GTI - RIP 205 1.9 TT - RIP E39 535i - Daily driver *Newest edition* E60 M5 5l v10 - The weekend car  |
