Perfect et for a mk3

Featured Replies

I'm having some split rims made up next month so i can choose whatever size and offset i want.

I've decided on 14x7 and 14x8 but what offsets would be perfect? I want a nice dish!

Maybe et15 for front and et5 for the rear what do you guys think? I think that would be about 2" dish on the front and 3" on the rear.

There image split rims mate. Gonna be lowered about 80/80 or 80/60 and 195/45/14 tyres.

et15 will just poke out up front.. but should be pretty much spot on with the GT arch kit..

I also reckon et5 would be about perfect on an 8 out back on those tyres.. just..

Not sure about how much stretch you're gonna get on those tyres as I've never run wide 14s...

If they don't stretch as much as a 175/50 on a 13 then you might be pushing it slightly at both ends of the car..

Yeh I'm getting all my arches rolled aswell and maybe pulled a bit.

I've got those tyres on my steffans now, they give a nice stretch on the 8's :-)

Sounds like it should all work to me Will...

You know how the offsets went on your old 7x13s.. et20 was just tucked in up front - being a tiny bit out at around et10 (with a spacer)

Out back.. et20 was well in the arch.. with the ability to go down to about et0..

So on the 8s out back, et 5 should just about sit with a decent stretch. Could always go for et10 if you're worried...
