Fantastic write up Jay  :congrats:
I have recently acquired a set of Charletons and trial fitted them to my Jetta today and have a few questions for you.

Rear nearside

Front offside


Q1 Would fitting 5mm spacers push the wheel out closer to the ET44 of my BBS VZ033's? (Charlestons have ET51)
Q2 What happens with the spigot if you add spacers? Do you need extended spigots?
Q3 Are these bolts suitable>> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M14-X-1-5-40MM-LONG-EXTENDED-TAPERED-ALLOY-WHEEL-BOLTS-LOCKING-BOLTS-V2-/200999835059?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyres_Trim_Nuts_ET&hash=item2ecc8615b3

Thanks in advance

1) The ET will reduce (wheel will be pushed further out)...5mm on an ET51 will give you an ET46.
2) Spigots don't effect the ET. The Spigots sit in the hub on the wheel so it should have no effect anyway - They fit on spacers provided the CB of the spacer is the same.
3) I don't know what bolts those Charletons take. I would imagine if they are genuine they are 27mm ball seat so you'd need approx 32-35mm ball seat bolts for 5mm spacers.
