best offset

[83_SUS]

what is the best offset for out mk4 golfs anyone care to enlighten me?

[anth]

depends on a lot of factors. what width are the wheels? what look do you want to go for? what size tyres are you going to run?

[83_SUS]

say 18x7.5 18x8

[83_SUS]

best idea would be spin me some wheels sizes you all use and offsets

I have 18x8 et 35 looks good but could come out a bit more.

18x8 et 32 looks great. As per this pic

8" et30 front
8" et20 rear
Rear guards are wider so can squeeze some more offset in

18x8.5 ET35 and 18x9.5 ET38 clears both guards pefectly...

ive found some 17x8 +32 might be a good buy once i get a price on them with no tyres

[Lorenz]

Very nice, what are they? Linea Sports?

this website calculates how much poke or otherwise you will get by changing width and offset

Ive got 19 x 8's +35 all round. Fronts sit pretty much dead flush with the gaurds, but I'd like the rears to be another 5-8mm further out so theyd sit flush too.

those rims all the info on them is sforzo and for all 4 $1000 no tyres there a 2 or 3 piece rim i havnt got all the info yet but i do like them

I have 18*8 ET45, but it sucks and rubs on the coilovers. Now have 17*7 ET25 and 17*9 ET20. fronts are flush, rears poke. You have way to much to spend on your car! im a bit jealous!!
