Looking for some alloys for my golf and I was just wondering which of these is correct

Just a bit confused

well what Golf do you have? Mk4 - 5x100, Mk5 - 5x112, Mk6 - 5x112 as it says in the pictures you've posted. centre bore will be 57.1 for all 3, but if it's wider than this it doesn't matter much, you just need some spigots.

Mk5 as per bottom picture

Sorry I meant the offset lol there saying different things.

then it depends on wheel width and what you want the car to look like

I mean i want to know the offset boundries on the standard set up. Not every wheel with a 5x112 fitment will fit will it ?

no but the width of the wheel affects the offset choice. so for example, not all wheels with an offset of 42 will fit either

the standard set up is 7.5J ET51. this is the same as 8J ET57, 8.5J ET63 and 9J ET69 in terms of where the wheel face will end up in relation to the arch.

have a play on here. it'll probably answer your question, even tho i'm still not sure exactly what it is you're asking:
