8x18 ET35 on the front of a Mk5 - Yes or no?
« on: December 17, 2012, 10:10:48 am »
Might be buying some new wheels, they are 8x18 ET35. Will this fit on the front of my car alright? From what i've seen people normally run 8's in the 40 offsets?

No mate they'll stick massively out the arches and will Defo rub, 42 minimum, 45 good fit, 48-51 will fit like a glove as 50 or 51 is the standard offset
