Offset help

[dazza p]

Guys n gals im looking at a set of wheels at the moment with et25 front & rear 9.5" & 10" wide, needing some help on this on how they would sit on my golf, poke no poke, sit nice.

Any help would be appreciated

Lots of poke.  2 inches further out than a Monza wheel. It all depends what you consider a lot though.

Fronts 9.5" ET25?? You'll have over 50mm poke!!  

Offset calculator for you to have a look at....

Scrub, scrub, scrub some more. Wreck arches. Cry.

They will completely not fit.

[xjay1337]

Here are 9.5 et 35 at the front



Et25 will stick out further by 10mm.

I recently bought a set off staggered rims at ET35 with 8.5 fronts & 9.5 rears... that set up bought about ALOT of contraversy in terms of the fitment and work needed to make them fit... what you are asking is insane.... They definately will not fit without some serious work

Cheers guys, wont be buying them then lol. The wheels were on a rocco & sit perfect on it, thought these were the same chassis or am i be stoopid ?

The CHASSIS is the same but the bodywork is different the Scirocco have wider arches and different bodywork so you can get another 20-30mm over the equivalent Mk5..
Read my guide on fitment it'll answer your questions.

Jay I've read your write up very informative.


Just wanting your opinions on 18" 8.5 et38 & 18" 9.5 et38

That will work but it will be tight and right on the limit of what you can use really.
You'll need 205/40 or 215/35 fronts and 225/40 rears.
Ideally you want to have your front arches rolled.

As jay said they won't fit , the thread is very helpful indeed...

Jay what about a 9x19" et 38 with a good stretch maybe a 215 tyre on the front and 235 on the rear

Well in my guide I recommended no lower than a 19x9 et 41 , you could fit those but you may catch the arch if you're low, and would look odd if you are now low.
