    yeh the offset is 56, quick question say i 10 mm adapters would that add or subtract to the offset, so the offset is now 66 or 46?
    my car is currently stock height but it will be dropped eventually as for how much I'm unsure...... i want them just to sit a bit further i guess not so much flush because as u said it would look a bit funny due to the width of the wheels, so i guess sunken a bit.

    ahhh cheers, i thought that was the case...... ill probably go for this look VWVortex.com - Entry Level Status however mine won't be so low..... judging from my research the offset of those rims are et32 and how running 15mm spacers in the rear, so around 20mm spacers in the front and 30+mm in the rear? is that even safe lol?

    Spacers are illegal in Oz, but certainly the term "unsafe" is incorrect. Porsche release cars with spacers from the factory FFS. The argument around spacers being safe or unsafe is moot - its all to do with rims sitting on hubs properly, proper length wheel nuts, etc.

    dyldo is right, take the adapter width away from wheel offset.

    to make it anything like that ull need more then 10mm adapters (good luck getting 10mm anyway)
    start with 25mm adapters front, 30mm rear.
    Will give you 7.5et31, 7.5et26
    alot of guys run those tt wheels or 8et35 at a stockish hieght.
