Will these fit?

[ollie288]

Hi
The specs are:
8.5x18 ET32 5x112pcd
^ok ^?? ^good

Ive have seen people run wheels with this offset but would these be ok?
What problems do offsets cause?
Thanks
Ollie

By the way I have a 1.6 fsi mk5

Counter intuitively, the less the offset the further out the rims will sit.  So if the standard rims were ET50, then some ET32 will sit 18mm further out.

[BeezerDiesel]

Also the rims are an inch wider than standard mk5 18'' wheels, so with such a low ET I reckon the fronts at least will be a problem.

they will stick out 30mm more than std , will be a problem

Yup, pushing that offset on that width.....  although nothing's impossible

You would clear ok if you run a reasonable amount of camber plus 215 tyres, otherwise you would have to be high, and being high looks s*it

Anyone know what the width and ofset of 18" BBS Monza 2's are?

[gazbutS3]

originals are 7.5" and ET 51

[Hurdy]

and Monza II copies are usually 8" wide and 45 offset......and not as good in terms of build quality.

So they would be a problem. Do you think I could roll the archs and pull them to allow them to fit. I will be lowering it but nothing extereme hust a healthy drop.

Like Jonny says  you will need to run a bit of stretch and camber, so unless these wheels are your dream wheels then i personally would find some others more suited.
