that site says 42-50 offset. so if the rim is 35 i would need spacers? or is it the other way? dont like spacers

 

[wagon dec]

wheel offest is a measurement from the centre line of the rim to the mounting face {ie where you bolt it to the hub,}it can be positive or negative

[/quote]being an et 35 it doesnt say wether its positive or negative et but most rims are positive so a 5 mm spacer would make it et30 and that would be worse

ok i think ill see if can meet this guy and try to put them on.

 

[wagon dec]

thats the best way man, just bring a few big lads with to test for arch rubbing after ya fit them

 

[Dagnut]

that is a bargain...would of loved a set of these when i had a B4 but they are around 2000 with tyres..if genuine

 

[Eddie]

ill go to take a look a t them tommorow. any way of checking if they are genuine?

 

[chris139ryan]

they should have a stamp on the inside of them if they are real as do all the genuine wheels but correct if im wrong

 

[ericsti]

They'd never have fitted with an ET35... my speedlines I bought for my project car are the same ET... and I stuck them on the wagon a while back to see what they'd look like for pig iron... and they stuck out past the arch 10-15mm. Even with stretched tyres you'd do some serious damage to your arch lip if the car bottomed out at any point.
