an offset of 50 wheels

[jackfm]

does this mean they'll fit and look like they've been spaced about 10-15mm?

i hope so...

Higher the offset the more IN they will sit NOT out.

The tyre will certainly hit the spring.

oh ok that's not what i thought offset was.


right here's the situation. i have the mk3 alloys which turn out have a G21 offset and are recessed into the arches so much that they only have about 5mm clearence from the back of the arch liner. I was kinda going from the "down and out" look with my car anyway (not down and in!?!? :S) so i need to get this sorted.

Now i feel like a total amatuer for not knowing so i may aswell go the whole hog...

What offset should i look for to achieve this?

Can't help you there chap. TBH ET35-37, with 5-10mm spacers and a heavy drop will give you the desired look.

RAGE, Couzens, Laura, Neil etc will be better able to answer your Q.
